Have never claimed they are beyond criticism, in fact far from it. There are not many jobs out there where virtually everyone else out there assumes that they can do a better job than them, even though the majority have never tried it. There are very few jobs out there where you have to make an instant call on what you have seen. There are also very few jobs out there where every decision you make is then at and critiqued by an independent panel, For the jobs out there like that, it’s impossible to get it right 100% of the time. So like players yes mistakes will be made, but all they are doing is to apply the rules the best they can. I have still never seen a Refs break the rules of the game, but in every game you see players do it, sometimes it’s a mistake on there part in most cases it’s a deliberate act to influence the game eg win!

Players have to make split second decisions in a game also, but your examples all end with you accusing the players of cheating. By that token I could do likewise of the referee.
How can you say you've never seen a ref break the rules of the game when you've already established they have no rules?

The Ouroborus Snake of RL Fans you are young Mickey....
JESUS WEPT HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.

All you can ask is that during a game it’s the same for both teams. Not really sure what you expect! It’s sport, no two tackles are exactly the same, it’s played by humans and it’s referred by humans. But they all follow same protocol, same as players should follow rules of the game. Players play what’s in front of them, Refs call what they see. It’s the game!
