Where’s a cement truck when you need it?
So what is ‘the level of professionalism we expect in Rugby League’ then?
Because from what I see, it’s fine to let drunks, drug users, women abusers, etc play football, but a coach questioning his teams loss is suddenly unprofessional?
The NRL can get absolutely fcked.

If Cummins wants to be treated fairly, then referee the game fairly.
So Des needs to put together a whole bunch of examples in the parra game that were totally biased against us and ask for an explanation. The nrl can roll out their bs line of ‘no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes’ but they seriously cannot explain away so many mistakes in one game and say that cummins is both competent and unbiased. One or two issues in a game I will cop, but that game was the biggest farce going

The salary for a top NRL referee is $300k
Top-flight referees set to earn more than 300k per year
Rugby league's top officials will earn over $300,000 a season in a historic four-year enterprise agreement that avoided touted industrial action from the referees' union.

That's absolutely ridiculous, given the amount of protection they're given from scrutiny & criticism!The salary for a top NRL referee is $300k

I missed Aloiai’s comments so I’ll pass on referencing them. However, I just wanted to pick up on the point you alluded to re other coaches this year. How can they fine us $25,000 given the comments made by both Holbrook and Peyton earlier in the year about certain clubs being favoured? I was far more shocked by (and happy to hear) those comments than what Des said. Those comments were pretty direct and clear, questioning the integrity of the NRL favouring certain powerbroker teams and not giving the same treatment to other clubs.

Apart from politicians, maybe refereeing is one of the most despised professions? They certainly need to be thick skinned. I think they have the same working year as the players, involving daily training & preparation in various ways. This is a video of one aspect of training

That's obviously different but the themes are identical to what Des said, maybe the NRL has a "tip sheet" for each coach with a separate list for untouchables and others.
As for "comments which question the integrity and competence of our officials" so the reality is they are untouchable regardless of performance.
If you were earning 300K+ in the REAL world and continually put in substandard performances you would be sacked or end up on a PIP which leads to being sacked if you don't improve.
What's the point of having a press conference when you can't discuss the incidents in games
Des and Cherry should not turn up anymore just send a staffer to agree with what the journos ask

Well it's not all dome and gloom hopefully, you would have to think it's Cummins's last game officiating another Manly game.
