The Baited headline intimates Paul is suggesting a Bias by some referees when officiating All Black Games

I have not read his article as I refuse to fund the fake news they so often produce, based entirely from my limited exposure while ignoring the claim they need me to finance their gutter rubbish.

I gather Paul is targeting Northern Hemisphere Referees while I found some of the interventions from the Aussie Ginga last Saturday Night from Dunners to have been intrusive while I attempt to be a disinterested spectator on such matters.

Print and Audio coverage of matters Referee seem to be bending so far backwards in the vain attempts to never question the Officials they will have poop in their goggles.

Referees are well remunerated Professionals and why they appear to remain beyond questioning seems over protective in extreme.

With now two Tv officials, Brent Cronon was listed as “The Split Screen monitor last Saturday night, and Overhead cameras now widely employed it does seem questionable that view is never utilised in the interventions.

I am often left wondering if referees sometimes use bias to even up the odds, unintentionally of course but to watch Barnes missing a clear forward pass to deny the ABs does still rankle.
