Australia is no stranger to lady corruption. Roger Rogerson, Sir Robert Askin, Trevor Haken, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen: each of these men were at one time or another the pinnacle of corruption in Australia.
But these days there is a new breed of greed. A new generation of dodgy officials making deals in dark rooms, swaggering around boasting fistfulls of cash. These men have been given the power to govern and control - but it would seem that's just not enough.
Notorious criminal Neddy Smith once said of the NSW police service, "It's the best police force that money can buy," and so it seems to be with NRL refferee's. These wingnuts are out of control. Fair enough, they have to wear pink jerseys onfield - enough to strike a blow to any man's ego - but do they have to sell their integrity to the highest bidder like some wretched whore?
This season has seen some bizarre reffereeing. To any lay-person, these decisions may seem idiotic, outlandish, even downright strange. But not to me. No, I have a keen eye for brutes forming a stomp circle around honesty and fair play. This season has shown a pattern of favoritism that can only be explained by Greed Heads dressed in pink selling their whistle to NRL clubs with the highest bid. It's easy to rig an NRL game: lopsided penalty counts, turning a blind-eye and obscure interpretations of rules can help any side win a game.
Corruption is the only reasonable explanation for what we have seen so far this year. Either that or the truth is alot worse. Maybe these refferee's are simply idiots dressed in pink.
