I left at 5-0 last night, it was hard to watch, Lakes and New Lambton must be getting more confident of survivingQuote:

I think 1-1 at HT and 2-2 with 20 mins left to finish 5-2 is no different to you would get between one of the top teams at home to one of the bottom teams in even the most even and competitive leagues in the world.Quote:

Cookers to beat NL and make relegation a three horse race
11th and 12th will stay 11th and 12th.Quote:

Lakes in all sorts. The pitch out there is a goat track tough for any team to play on that. Adamstown showed some fight. Lucky the feed at Pippis made the night out there worth while
The BarTV footage of NL first goal is unbelievable. Keeper caught it clean about half a meter in front of the line, and the assistant award a goal....how does that even happen.Quote:

Either way, can?t definitively tell based on the BarTV footage.
Because the Fed want them to play 72,684 games a season on itQuote:

If the referees are better, then respect will follow organically.
It should be zero tolerance from an abuse of referees perspective. However, there needs to be a level of accountability where referees can reflect and learn from mistakes.
In terms of players and officials carrying on about the referee standards, I watched the Cooks Hill V New Lambton match on BarTV and the game was riddled with errors from both teams. Poor refereeing standards is a simple reflection of the poor player standards.
That's my 10 cents worth!
It?s a pretty fair take. Although I will add this, the problem is that we currently have the best of a small pool, similar to how the standard of football isn?t great as there?s not enough ?npl quality? players at the moment. The only way to increase the standard is a combination of coaching (which is already happening) and increasing the pool of referees.Quote:

I?ll also add that, and it?s not directed at you, if people are that concerned with the level of reffing, take it up yourself and see what it?s like, rather than being a keyboard warrior.
agree MillQuote:

there should be an appeal put forward for draw,or rematch , if accepted by NNSW and stands, then the standard is set to continue, and more poor decisions to come.

I think CH last night would find it easier to shallow a shocking decision, if it didn?t now have a potential impact on their NPL status.
NNSW need to do less but do it to a higher quality. Spend less time constantly tinkering with a whole range of bullshit initiatives that may or may not improve anything and spend time getting the basics right of each inititive as they implement them e.g. refereeing performance so that the integrity can be maintained of a competition that now has pro/rel and subsequently $$$ impact to clubs.
The latest example of this, is the latest JDL review. This must be the 3rd interaction of SAP/JDL in the last ~5 years. How much benefit did the last 3 review have?
One thing at a time, and get it nailed before moving onto the next. Get the basics right first.
They?re to busy worrying about Pride round, Indigenous round, referees round, Mother?s Day round etc, that?s a Z league ref decision last night, not good enough.
From the same video you all watched it looked to me like the ref got a call from his assistant and they had a better angle on it than you all saw on the video.You are all guessing with less info than they had out on the field.Quote:

At the end of the day, it's the officials job to adjudicate, which they did.Quote:

The referee has final say, let?s move on. Bye the way my team lost.
Valentine vs Lake.
Was the quickest goal of the season? It took Valo only 19 seconds to score.
Maitland coach getting out at the right time, Cookers now above them
Crap game between Charlestown and Cooks Hill. Winning team playing long ball.
Getting ready for the new coach who also loves playing the long ball ????Quote:

It's interesting that some believe it should be a 10 or 8 team competition, but this situation of 12 teams adds to the drama. Adamstown and New Lambton have both beaten teams above them in the last two weeks. Now it is getting interesting. It's not over until the fat lady plays her tunes!
