Quote: Mild Rover "Nice sentiment, but a petition for improved standards will always be a bit nebulous. Fair enough, you made some suggestions for specific measures but you can never remove human error without removing humans. We're always going to have to accept imperfections and while the RFL should of course try to limit them, it is easier to accept that reality than take on the more or less impossible task of changing it.
Sport, like life, isn't always fair, but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. The excitement, uncertainty, even the guilty thrill of getting a decision hopefully make up for it.
If we're sick of discussing referees, then let's not, it's our choice. No matter how cack they are, we're not obliged to.'"
I admire your way of thinking, but it is more than human error that I was getting at.
Yes, mistakes happen - pretty sure I said that too - but there is a lot of inconsistent refereeing, and poor displays to blame it all on human error.
Video ref decisions being wrong should not simply be allowed to be human error. The whole system of putting players on report is pathetic now. Forward passes could easily be judged by a video screen if needed. Its all those things that I was referring to.
