For me it's more a case of how thy are told to ref than their individual ability. If we want it refer like union I am very happy, but to many people justify poor behaviour from players as I see. Union refs also make mistakes but they are accepted, in league a mistake is used to bash the ref and justify poor player and coach behaviour
