Two Referees : Tue Apr 07, 2009 3:30 pm  

Hello,

I've not seen any NRL this season and was wondering if any of you had any feedback on the new refereeing set up being used this year?

More penalties? Has it made the game cleaner? Faster? Better? Worse? Do you think we will eventually see 2 refs in Super League?

Thanks

Yea, quite enjoying it at the moment, think Gallop said it will be used in internationals next year, which should be good.

No,

Ricky Stewart hates it... but then he hates anything that the refs do whether it be good or bad


Anyway onto the OP's question, from what I have seen I am very impressed. The teams are off the tackle within a second or two and the speed of the game is imense.

In SL we have gone the other way with all the wrestling and laying on I think we have lost our entertainment value. TBF im not too bothered that I wont see many games this year in SL because the majority have been boring so far. Ill stick to my 8 games of NRL for now thankyou

i would like to see the 2 ref system in SL, it might stop em going to the video ref for practically every try. i dont normally complain about the refs, but the saints bradford game the other night really frustrated me.
