Quote ="Dreamer"It's aus gamesmanship (trying to cheat) at its worst. They whinge before any competition (cricket, RU, RL) about anything they think might not give them an advantage.
Imagine an Australian ref sending off an australian prop in the opening tackle of the game? Never in million years! English refs have bent over backwards to be impartial.
If an australian refs the game we will get penalised for not playing the ball fast enough, for not retreating fast enough, for imaginary high tackles or as the americans call it "unnecessary roughness" etc.. etc.. etc.. In fact all the things that sheens has moaned about. There is no way on earth that an aus ref will give a vital decision against his own country.
They had the advantage in the world cup by slowing down the play the ball and playing to their "interpretation" of the rules and now they want the same advantage again by speeding it back up.
Part of me thinks they are very sad....the other part just gets angry. The RFL should grow some ball$ and tell them to cluck off. Ganson should ref the game.'"
stop crying and looking for excuses even before its started. shayne hayne isnt my favourite referee but at least hes an nrl one and that whats needed
