The NRL referees are also acknowledging Indigenous Round over the next fortnight wearing these jerseys.

Most matches will see the yellow kit worn.

@LeagueFreak Love it!!

[Alan Shortall @AlanShortall77]

@LeagueScenePod Appreciate the acknowledgment of good officiating!

@IMAROOSTAR @Xero__AU If you also want to be technical, Robson spins to the front post held. Straight up penalty for that action alone and with the break down even easier to give

[Alan Shortall @AlanShortall77]

@IMAROOSTAR @Xero__AU on that angle how can you determine anything. The referee is front on in the best position to judge. And a best assessment on the available evidence is the Roosters defender gets his knee into the ruck post the tackle being complete.

[Alan Shortall @AlanShortall77]

@CamDonDuncan @SteveMascord That’s also fair. Probably the point where broadcasters and leagues talk about what can be provided in order to make it better. It also works the other way as we saw with Bradman Best in Origin 3. Too many cameras leaves you searching rather deciding

[Alan Shortall @AlanShortall77]

@LeagueScenePod A very good referee who has worked hard getting an opportunity

[Alan Shortall @AlanShortall77]

@sszinglehead Being blocked by people because you provide a different perspective is counterintuitive! Nothing will get better if we stick our heads in the sand by not educating stakeholders better including supporters and investing in officials to be even more highly skilled at their craft

[Alan Shortall @AlanShortall77]

@SarsNQ @sszinglehead And it’s a throw away line and bullshit. Come with some evidence why it is and have a debate about why it’s forward and then I’ll take your perspective seriously

[Alan Shortall @AlanShortall77]

@SarsNQ @sszinglehead I’d like to think that I have more experience than most at assessing and judging these things. Your comment that it’s bullshit shows exactly what referees are up against. They could methodically explain in detail as I have the mechanics and measurements of that decision

@anton1taylor There is some expert analysis in that question

[Alan Shortall @AlanShortall77]

@pmens72 The NRL change rules to try and make sure players are protected or play in the true spirit. Referees have to adapt the quickest because everyone expects perfection from them from the start of the season to the end of the grand final

[Alan Shortall @AlanShortall77]

@pmens72 imo we need to educate stakeholders including supporters. You won’t always agree and may not like changes but they have to be made because clubs are professional and have a clear objective to win always looking for the competitive edge.

[Alan Shortall @AlanShortall77]

@MattP_RLZone I’m sure people who have knowledge of the laws of the game understand what has occurred here.
