    All you fags used to love 2 refs because "it sped the pace of the game up".


    And by ten years ago Fourex I think you mean 1983.

    I've been against the two-ref system since day one. It has worked a bit better than I thought it would but I'm still not in favour of it.

    I can't remember what I thought of it back then, though I do remember wanting them to have specific roles for the whole match and not switch around. It's definitely 100% rabbit poop now.

    You're probably right.

    Tim Mander needs to be given total control of all referees.

    I actually think video refs have improved in the back half of the season (although that wasn't hard they were shocking in the first half of the season) but they're genuinely pretty good now.

    I'm also a big fan of the new interpretations on put downs for a try, it's a massive improvement on the old 'no separation' bullshit.

    I'm also sold on the 2 refs now, it's a necessity imo, there just needs to be clearer roles. If one ref is going to be doing the 10 metres then they should be doing that all game and if one ref is going to be ruling on infringements on the ruck then they should be doing that all game, for consistencies sake.

    I actually don't think the standard of referring has gotten worse this season, I thought it was shocking last year and has improved if anything. And if anyone's allowed to be disillusioned by referring it's the bloke who supports a team who's a statistical anomaly when it comes to penalties.

    Need to fire literally every single ref and Anderson.

    If MF had of stuck with refereeing instead of falling in with the wrong crowd and dealing drugs to scab money for hot chips to stay alive, he could be in charge and takeover as the new main official.

    All referees should take compulsory grade 1 maths lessons.

    We also need a third on-field referee, purely for tackle counting.

    Yesterday's abomination highlights why it's laughable for anyone to suggest that the standard of refereeing isn't going down hill fast.......

    Right from the early season rounds, through into the SOO series and beyond, it was hard to shake the fear that these clowns, be they on the field, sidelines or in the VR box, were eventually going to cost a team a game of serious magnitude. .

    A 7th tackle try........in 2013. What a fucken joke the NRL is becoming.

    There's been examples of 7 tackle sets right throughout the history of the game in every season. Some just don't get talked about because the game isn't as important or there was no gain for the attacking side.

    Your logic is flawed and just flat out idiotic.

    I actually wondered this - how many times throughout the season there's been a seven-tackle set that no one's noticed.

    The roast normally picks up on that sort of shit

    I've done a few games for Fox where this has happened and no one noticed because it didn't result in anything, but it is rare.

    Too bad the Roast is shit after Voss was fired and now the refs just don't give a fudgesicle. It's all Hadley's fault.

    Yeh the Roast is shit now, if it wasn't forced upon me by Ch9 during the Sunday footy show I wouldn't watch it.

    I rarely found myself in fornt of the tv at that time of the week this year but if I was I'd generally watch the under 20s game.

    All the officials (6 in total) from the Cowboys V Sharks debacle have been stood down for the remainder of the finals series.

    Don't remember such a thing ever happening before?

    Maybe the refs ARE actually getting worse for such drastic steps to be taken.

    I for one applaud Anderson's decision.
