As you consider yourself a rational speaker I would imagine you also consider yourself to be a rational thinker ? What do you think the RFL’s rationale is behind ordering officials to ignore certain types of cheating/ rule breaking when checking tries for possible offences ? You will know the Rugby Union officials in the video booth check for any offence in the build up to a try, what was the reasoning behind the RFL basically saying even an obvious forward pass should be ignored when reviewing a try that is “sent upstairs” ? What are they so scared of to allow the game to become a laughing stock ?
If you think the minutiae of different ways referees have of interpreting the rules makes the sport a 'laughing stock' then you're obviously more sensitive and easily upset than the average person.
