NRL refs and their boss are a joke!!!!

I don't know whether any of u saw the warriors - tigers league game on Sunday but NZ fullback McKinnon was sent off for 'kneeing' an opponent in the 76th minute - he didn't even touch the guy with his knee!!!!
The bloke he tackled said so!!!

Of course - cos he was sent off he went to the judiciary - who said he didn't have a case to answer...

And what happened to the dickhead ref?? NOTHING!

McKinnon got blamed for a dustup 2 minutes earlier and went and told the ref after a try that he never started it (he has a temper!!) ref got pissed at him and next thing u know....

Compare this to when Joey Crawford got pissed at Tim Duncan and ejected him from his spot on the bench doing nothing - Crawford was suspended till the end of the year and thru the playoffs.

Of course the guy who decides whether the ref gets dropped is the ref boss!! Crazy.

If he'd been sent off in the 25th mintue and they lost there'd be more of a stink about this.

Also 3 weeks back a video ref denied McKinnon a brilliant solo try for obstruction which was non existent - the warriors lost by 6....the ref got dropped a grade for a week and apologised - where's the consistency here....

Anyone else see it??

Yeah, agree 100%, matey... There's absolutely no accountability for refs, and players are just supposed to cop crap decision after crap decision. Frustrates the hell out of me! And the worst thing is the player who supposedly got "kneed" in this situation didn't complain, and said straight up that he didn't feel any knee and he thought McKinnon was hard done by. The only positive was that at least it happened near the end of a game that was close to being decided anyway. But definately not good enough.
