Thank you. www.ipetitions.com/petition/rlreferees/'" Referees do not cost any team a game. When anyones team's players do not make any errors (forwards passes, knock ons, missed tackles conceded penalties) only then will you have a point. I really hope RL is not slipping the way of football in blaming the officials rather than look at the deficiencies of the players and the coaches. Its not relevant or fair to focus on the officials decision, when the players are guilty of multiple errors during games. Whilst your at it, why not train to become a referee

Explain how you'd do it.

I fully believe referees make their decisions honestly. Do they make mistakes? Yes. Do coaches, players, commentators etc? Yes.

Did you read the petition? There were plenty of suggestions in there.

This is what was there:

Some example areas that can be resolved:
* Technology used at all games - something that was trialed and used and then disappeared.
* Forward passes to be looked at on the video screen - technology is advanced enough to be able to have moveable lines on a screen to check where a ball was passed and caught.
* Two referees - a system tried and tested in the NRL
* Changes to video ref system - asking the video ref to prove the decision wrong, rather than to make it. Having multiple video refs/consultants
* More responsibility on linesmen
* Using the sin bin correctly, and not putting players on report as a cop out

Can you honestly disagree with any of those?

If Rugby Union can look at a screen for a forward pass (without any added technology I may add) then why can't we?

I know not aimed at me but I did actually try and become one, I e-mailed many people at the RFL trying to find out more info, I also e-mailed the local Refs organisation. The only response I got was from the local body saying they were not looking for new refs at that moment in time. RFL replied with nothing. Maybe I was not what they were looking for at the time, 23, fit and healthy and enthusiasm for the game

I know it may not be of any use to you now (as you've probably sacked the idea off) but the @RFLREFEREES has just tweeted [url=http://therfl.co.uk/news/article/28612/opportunity-to-become-a-refereethis[/url

Thanks for that but to be honest I have gone into different areas in RL to help out. Maybe I just tried at the wrong time or just unlucky with who was receiving the e-mails. Or maybe it was me thinking they would be biting your hand off for new people to join.

I heard the rfl have started an online petition to improve standards of hull kr fans

Where do I sign & is there one to banish the Leeds fecktards?

If you look on the Hull KR website you will actually see some fans of the club biking to headingley from Craven Park on Friday raising money for charity. Yes all clubs have a minority of idiots but some hard workers as well

I don't think you are, but I hope I aren't being branded one of the idiots?
