REFEREES are often accused of inhabiting their own world.

This year, their secret society will operate with an expanded vocabulary designed to make life a lot simpler for the growing number of match officials involved in the game.

In an attempt to stop whistle-blowers being paralysed by information overload, NRL referees coach Robert Finch has increased the number of code words in their dialect.

The changes come at a pivotal time in the game. The NRL has embraced the two-referee model, meaning the lines of communication are clogged with more voices than ever. As a result, referees' conversations this season will be punctuated with words such as ripper, angle, facial, spinning and jumper -- short, sharp, concise.
