Every player tries to milk penalties and reef balls out in the tackle.
Professinalism in the game is getting like the dives in Football.
The Coaches and players have as much to answer for as the poor Refs.
Look at the rubbish last year with grapple tackles and chicken wings etc etc.
Who would want to be a Ref?

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

I havent seen the Manly incident but that Bulldogs one last week was absolutely disgraceful.
Still, people make mistakes, I don't think refs are as bad as people make out. I actually feel the standard has raised massively over the last 3 or 4 years in the UK.

You don't even need the balls to actually become a referee.
All that is required is a basic knowledge of the Laws of the Game, an ability to remove any blinkers (of whatever hue) and, most importantly, an understanding of the dynamics of refereeing.
