[QUOTE="ranger, post: 475622, member: 40555"] To accuse any top flight referee of bias is an indication of a seriously deluded mind. Yeah mate, he hates South Africans. He has dedicated his life to this career, but hes willing to throw it all away because he doesn't like the Sharks very much. I would like to point out that for all of the Kiwi *****ing about Wayne Barnes, the critique was that he was trying hes best but wasn't up to refereeing a game at that level at that stage in his career. No one said he went out there with a vendetta to purposely take the game away from them. Because thats ****ing stupid. Also, do you think there is a cave somewhere full of world class referees just waiting for someone to be demoted so they can step up? Refereeing is a **** job by in large; finding anyone willing to do the job is hard enough, let alone ones that are actually good at it. Bryce Lawrence is pretty average, but there arent too many other options. If you think hes [I]that[/I] bad that you could do a better job, get off the computer, go volunteer at your local union and work up to take his place. [/QUOTE]
