who would referee? just to suffer abuse week after week (sum of it deserved), i watch the NRL every week and the standard of refereeing over there is far far better, why? better training, money, respected? who knows, but the players and fans deserve a decent standard every week. Every one makes mistakes but the mistakes Roby Childs Hicks make are undefendable at times. Should the RFL be looking at persuading ex players take up refereeing, they no all the little tricks etc that goes on better than anyone. Why are Union referees respected so much by players, players dont argue with them or constantly talking in their ear, when they make a decision its accepted, so are league players partly to blame for not respecting the referee and moaning etc?. We can all have our views but that wont change anything. Until the RFL admit there is a big problem with our referee's it will continue to infuriate fans and players alike.

Exactly, two refs is definatley the way to go. One experienced ref doing their current job, one rookie focusing on the tackle area as priority.
