  The last manly try was definitely a correct call but completely unfair considering some many similar decision have been wrong and gone the other way.

  Now dragons rosters game. Dragons up 18-6. 3rd tackle and on there own 20 n dragons get bullshit penalty followed by another. 20-6 n probably game over.

  I was at that game today. The refereeing was pretty average. The blokes in the middle refuse to make a call when it comes to a try.
  Another sin bin offence. Was that the top of the to-do list for the refs this week?

  There is something seriously wrong with the game when all the talk after just about every match is about the officiating and how poor it is. the game is no longer decided by the players but by the officials, the game is over officiated. The video ref should not be overturning run of play calls or even be asked to look at run of play calls, the refs should call it how they see it as they had done for years before the introduction of the video ref. Most fans would accept a wrong call on the run over a wrong/bad call after video review.

  Look guys, I think the refereeing has always been poor we just didn't realise it.

  The technology currently being used by the NRL breaks down every bit of play and lets us the viewers, analyse every thing in minute detail. I'm sure if we looked through some old 80s tapes you would see some very poor calls in every single set, its just that we didn't have the game being micro analysed like it is today.

  Don't get me wrong, I do get just as frustrated, if not more so than everyone else, but I guess we the spectators, just  have to accept that generally refereeing and officiating is not 100% fool proof. As long as the human element remains in the game you will never have the perfect system.

  I will still say though that Parra were robbed on Saturday night 100%.
