What do you mean, Kate?
Wonder where he got "98% of the calls right" figure from. I'm sure leaning towards it being plucked from his chocolate speedway. He single-handedly shot any credibility he hoped to have in the foot right then when he came out with that crappola!Abdo has clarified it.:
Some high tackles will simply be penalised, but "direct forceful contact to the head with no mitigation" will see players sent to the bin.
"I think it's important to acknowledge that the referees do a great job and get 98 per cent of the calls right. Then there are some calls that are going to be 50/50 and debated ... and then there are calls that are just wrong, and are errors.""Over the weekend, we identified (incidents of) direct forceful contact to the head with no mitigation, and that's a clear sin bin. You'll see high tackles that might be penalised, or there might be some mitigation. But the referees know what the decision trees look like. Direct, forceful contact – so when we saw shoulders directly into the head, no mitigation, the player wasn't falling ... that's a clear sin bin, and we saw about four of those occasions this round, and it was unfortunate."

He knew 99% was a stretch even as a figure of speech, so went with 98% instead for balance.

Not sure how many guys are still there from his time but he'd have some inside knowledge of some of the players you'd think.I wonder if Madge will have something to prove against the club who sacked him. Hopefully. Will be good ro see how the team plays pumped up to dish out some revenge for him.
