Until we get the referees under a separate umbrella from the NFL the games will be called in favor of the NFL's favorites. We need full time independent refs who have to meet requirements to ref and have year round non stop training so they know what a penalty is! It varies from one ref to the next. It needs to be consistent throughout the league.

Also, as a rugby ref we only call pertinent penalties that directly affect the play. If it's egregious we call it....if not, we give a verbal warning if possible but we don't take away a big play if it's been earned and the foul had nothing to do with the effectiveness of the play.
