This hasn't been the greatest display of rugby league talent, but it's been a really enjoyable game to watch, and there is 1 very simple reason for that.
The refereeing, or more importantly, the lack of it. The game has been allowed to flow, no niggly 50/50, NRL style wanky penalties, just letting the footy flow. Nice one!
And it's allowing some nice little plays like sneaky hands in the 2 man tackle prying it loose, etc, but it's the way the game is meant to be played, not with some half-wit ref blowing his whistle every set of 6, or wasting 15mins of the match waiting for video- refs to get it wrong.
Well played, officials!
