Following the justifiable furore following Hicks' appalling performance on Saturday, and the simple fact that it appears - from what we see week in week out - that our referees really do seem in need of some enhanced coaching, I'm wondering if it would be an idea for the RFL to pay to bring in an Aussie ref / touch judge / video ref team in for future finals?
Might not eradicate mistakes but it would go a very long way towards any allegations of bias, undue influence etc.
There would be a few areas to iron out - Aussies being used to officiating with two referees for instance, cost implications etc - but perhaps something the RFL should consider?
