I don't get the ex-player thing, Paul Reiffel is a shit umpire. Non players know the rules just like ex players there is no reason why they would do any better. Only thing I see is ex players being soft and letting too much go and that makes games worse than when they are over refereed (ie.Origin 3).
But those things aren't stuffed because of the referees mate, the rule makers have butchered all those rules. There are so many rules now that the referees must have a mightmare trying to make decisions on these areas, the officials along with the coaches at their stupid end of season conference have changed the game so much and put in place hundreds of stupid rules that just complicate the game.
