[QUOTE="nzlizard, post: 725171, member: 70865"] Given the fact that 2 officials have been demoted I would say that it is a case of poor refereeing determining the outcome of a game, as a Chiefs fan I have no problem with them losing game when they play bad, eg Rebels. But when the referee makes a bad call that changes the outcome of the game then it gets frustrating, 3-4 games in the last 2 years the Chiefs have lost due to this, as do other franchises, and all fans have the right to feel aggrieved, with the competition tightening up and games getting harder to win these calls have far more importance on them then years gone past. When rugby wonders why fan bases at live games are diminishing they need to be looking at this, fans don't want to pay good money to see live games ruined by incompetence, when you compare this to say football, it would take 10-15x the amount of games in football to get the same level of poor referee game discussion happening, and football referees do not have big screen replays.
