its the final so you need the best ref available

Correct. Which is precisely why Shayne Hayne the Layme Brayne shouldn't be within a working visa of Elland Road.

NRL refs: so good they need two per game.

Naaaah maayte, whingeing is wot me merry ocker mates get up ter.

I'm simply stating facts. Shayne Hayne is clearly not the best ref in the gayme should be on his way home on a playne.

Carry on.

Hes the best thats on offer.

I don't understand why the impact of different styles of referee is seen as such a threat by Aus. In other sports its part and parcel of international competition. They basically say 'ref it our way or its not fair'. I just don't get it.

Insecurity, its a national psychology of Australia! You only have to look at the paranoia in the country about a few hundred boat people ffs.

Go back to the old days, whatever country your touring in you use their refs. Sorts it and no opportunity for whinging!

Says who?

Ganson is better than Shayne - so therefore lets have the Kiwi ref and the French ref covering half each. Problem sorted.

I would have thought that - publicly at least - the attitude from the coach should be more around adjusting as required to the ref and largely being unperturbed. Even if they lose the final, England have won the PR war on this.

I love how none of those aussie whinge rags have published my comment yet there's a few about whingeing poms etc..yawn

Not read the whole thread, is it will be the same as every other year the Aussies come here and don't get their own way.

My issue is that Hayne has been part of a two man reffing team all year. This game has 1 ref, and as the biggest game of the year, that should rule him out.

The Aussies have admitted that their refs aren't good enough to mark the 10m and control the ptb, so how the hell they can want one of their own doing this baffles me!

The convicts started this one before the game 2 weeks ago when they refused a neutral ref then. It was obvious that after having Ganson for that one they think they can get their own way for the final and probably will.

IMO all refs should be neutral, given that the french bloke is as bad as that Ashley Klown and on thosr grounds need to go to the NRL where he would only be half as bad it has to be the Kiwi.

Why we didn't vote for him in the first place i have no idea. According to the news report all 3 represenatives voted for their own countryman, i assume that is England, NZ and Convictland, so if we had just voted for the kiwi then there wouldn't have been a problem

It's Simple really!!!why not have A English ref and a Aussie one, then that will just stop all the whinging that's going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this kids brilliant!
