Referee row hits final build-up The Kangaroos want their man, Shayne Hayne, to officiate in Saturday's final A row over the choice of referee is threatening to dominate the build-up to Saturday's Four Nations final between England and Australia at Elland Road. The three men chosen to select the official have picked their own countryman, and only further negotiation will settle the matter. Kangaroos coach Tim Sheens said: "I'm obviously in favour of the Australian. "From what I hear [Shayne] Hayne will be named the international referee of the year. It's become political." ... "Since we've played England under an English referee, I don't see why England should whinge or worry about us playing under an Australian referee," added Sheens. ... news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/8351127.stm |

ERM, maybe because the Aussie ref has got used to having his mate out there with him and has got used to concerntrating on one part of the game, not ALL of it.
What a silly idea anyway to have two refs. Isn't that what Linesmen are for ?
