Agreed, DSM5. Sacking Gallop and now the ref bosses have been cosmetic changes to appease the masses, but until we know who is in their place there isn't much cause for rejoicing.
Nope. It was the retention of Gallop & Harrigan that was all about the cosmetics.
Getting rid of those two out of control News Ltd egos is a hugely positive step for the game.
Notice that with the change in leadership, the wild and irrational knee-jerks from the top in favour of negative media stories are ... gone
And with the change in refereeing leadership, hopefully referees will now feel empowered to actually make professional judgements on the field, rather than follow Harrigan's contradictory key indicators rubbishy system. If I want the best medical treatment I go to a professional who uses professional judgement. The same applies to refereeing. We need professionals, not the procedure-obsessed technicians that Harrigan created.
They've at last seen the flaw of Harrigan's no-one's accountable shared job with Raper. When will they finally see that the exact same flaw applies to Harrigan's no-one's accountable split-refereeing system?
