It seems like every player is appealing to the referee for something these days, or whingeing about a referee’s decision, calling forward passes, waving six again or just waving their arms around generally.
What chaos, and it wasn’t always like this, as once upon a time no one spoke to the referee at all.
'This is not a gender issue': Annesley warns players to show more respect to all refs after blowing up at Badger
$3,000 or two games?
Something’s wrong with that, particularly when Gould got fined $20,000 for calling some of the the game’s rules “stupid”.
Entitled NRL players trying to stand over Kasey Badger are in for a rude shock
French guy?

Yep….Arthur and Stuart…the twin pillars of NRL coaching mediocrity
Sharks too smart in the wet for hot-and-cold Dragons to make an unhappy homecoming for Flanagan
He’s obviously a graduate of the Michael Ennis Pest Academy.

That was one of the worst refereeing performances I’ve ever seen, both live and on the second viewing.

If a team is going off the rails with remarks and abuse, just tell the captain that he’ll be off for the rest of the game if it continues

Geez, another lazy, overpaid player. Just what the Bunnies need.

Yeah, nine plus another, and like Stuart, fat chance of winning a premiership in his 11th year at the club. 😊

Referees have all the power they need to stop players abusing them. Either use it or put up with the abuse.
Referees would be better served and better respected if they spent more time enforcing the rules and less time calling players by their first names while performing on-field coaching duties, including how to pack a scrum, who’s offside, etc.
As for Badger, she’s just one of several very ordinary referees running around in first grade at the moment.

Well spotted 😊

Fifita’s $1m per year contract with the Titans runs until the end of 2026.
No other club will pay so much for a player to do so little so infrequently.

Not if Badger gets another game in first grade

Maybe Souths should just bring back Big Sam?
Bennett is a short-term solution for Souths – the elite of the NRL might have moved past him
