England legend Austin Healey has, like many, people been watching the Rugby League World Cup this morning and was clearly not pleased with the referee.
Australia won the final 6-0 despite England’s best efforts and Healey didn’t hide his dissatisfaction with the controversially appointed Australian officials.
How biased is the ref in RL final

Ref is a disgrace

Apparently not a charge down if you’re wearing green @BBCSport ref has been shall we say weighted towards his home team

I did physics at school can someone explain how that went forward?

And he wasn’t the only one…
If I didn’t know better, I might suggest this referee is Australian…

Rough penalty call to keep England in it and the pen count now in their favour, but if Australia win the Poms will blame the referee for favouring Australia #RLWC2017

I give man of the match to Referee Sutton. #RLWC2017

Trying to win a World Cup in Australia against Australia with an Australian referee

Rugby league the only sport where the home team gets the referee on side as well. How cane it be fair that the rugby league World Cup final referee is also Australian.

Shocking whats this world coming to hope the young referee is ok as a referee myself for over 35 years I have seen some very bad coaches/managers hope that coach gets banned for life.
