the calls for competent refs should be louder than for neutral refs. the nrl refs have shown over a number of years that they ar far below the standard required. i found it hilarious that their childish insistence on having their own ref, despite him being the worst ref in the competition, came back to bite them on the .

Professionals will always bend rules as much as possible.

The idea of no infringements is a nice theory. Unfortunately for that scenario, humans play and not robots.

I thought the worst decision today cam from the only neutral on the field. That foot on the line should have been spotted.

It was a shocker and strengthens the case for putting more money into international officials.

So what happened to the Kiwis getting dicked?

Ref's will always make mistakes, they are only highlighted in more in the big games and especially the close ones.

Just a reminder for readers of an actual example of my thoughts on international RL rather than the mad interpretation of it...
