Refs should hardly have any impact on the game, abs that's the problem....!

Maybe we should stop changing the rules and guidance every 5 minutes. Give the refs a chance....!

Watch an NRL game to see how referees are assisted with technology to officiate effectively. Super League is light years behind and with little money to invest, the referees do the best they can , with no obvious bias to one team. As fans we see all 50/50 calls in our favour I am afraid. I am just as guilty of this, but I honestly do not think there is any bias in our game, just incompetence and amateurish referring.

I dont think the referees are given enough help from the linesman and we dont have enough referees to have two on the pitch.
Instead of in goal officials which are a waste of time we should trial four linesmen,each responsible for half the pitch left and right so from a fitness point they are able to keep up with play at all times and have eyes from both sides of the pitch at the point of an incident and particularly start to pull up forward passes and incorrect play the balls.They dont need to be highly qualified.

And yet it was the intervention of the Linesman that got Satae sin binned. Which I found odd, because from my viewpoint, the referee was closer and seemed to have a good view of it.

You could have twenty officials but if their all incompetant then it's irrelevant,

Sometimes you've just got to accept some people cannot do jobs properly, it's a shame super league seems to have an abundance
