so one of the few refs that actually gave us a remotely fair run just retired

[davos]

Hayne was one of the cheating pr1cks in the 2010 gf. I'll never forget some of those bs calls he gave us.

We shouldn't need to rely on ref calls to win games and premierships 2013 showed us that. Fark them all !!!!!!!!!!!

The Manly game was that mug Cummins.

As for the Brisbane game, we always get murdered there and in NQ by the refs.

My mistake Tommy. I just get all of those clowns confused given their arms are only ever pointing in one direction - away from us!!

[BallyChook]

I was gutted when I heard this!

I too have a lot of respect for Hayne. He was the best ref in the game by a mile.

I know I keep banging the same drum but:

No. of times 9+ pens received in a game in 2014:

Souffs 13
Roosters 1

No. of times fewer than 5 pens received in a game in 2014:

Souffs Zero
Roosters 10

So how much worse will the entrenched refereeing bias be without Hayne?

Lord help us.

It will be very interesting to see what happens to Souths penalty stats next year now that the fairytale has been accomplished.

Watching the 4 Nations it is apparent that the NRL refs are trying to play too big a part in the game by micro managing the little things and forgetting about the issues which are effecting the game.

Bang on mate.

Just let the game flow. No one ever came out of a game thinking the ref improved things by blowing 20 penalties.

where does diamond rank now?

I liked Hayne. He was the leading referee for the 2013 grand final, where the penalty count was 5-2 in our favour.

The pocket referee was Ben Cummins, who I severely dislike after the round 4 game vs Manly this season.

I also don't like Jared Maxwell or Gavin Badger.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I reckon Shayne Hayne was s clear best of a god awful bunch.

Think he tried to be fair...that's all I ask.

Bring back Kelvin Jeffes and Moghseen Jadwat.

Those two you mentioned get off on giving us penalties, especially when jwh is involved

where does diamond rank now?

Diamond still ranks as the hardest and Talc the softest.
