Apparently that round had the most sin bins ever... even more than that bullshit magic round a couple years back.
The refs have no idea on the field... and I'm pretty sure their mandate is to stay the **** out of things and let the bunker sort it out and tip you off... the bunker is then going beyond their remit and pulling play back several sets later.
In Manly vs Penrith they had literally changed possession, but the bunker took it back and gave the now defending team a penalty.
That differed from literally the game that was on before it, where a player was binned, but there was no penalty.
No one knows what the ****ing rules are anymore... and that's before you even get to the phantom six agains that don't even get put under any scrutiny.
And the gas lighting that happens on the bunker decisions so they can stay with the onfield ref.
The officiating of the game is below rock bottom at this point... it's literally turning people off the game... I know because I didn't bother watching some this weekend, because of it.
