There are a few rules that certainly need tidying up. I would say, as someone involved in football refereeing, that RL is an extremely difficult game to ref - much, much harder than football. We may think that this current crop of referees aren't that good but I think they actually they do a pretty decent job of an almost impossible task.
We don't want to be going down the football route where managers and players all hold the ref to account, rather than themselves, after a loss. The pool of RL refs must be tiny and we can do without chasing the remaining ones away.
Decisions will even out over a season and if a side is good enough the refs will not be an issue.
I usually feel that the referee has done a pretty good job when I watch a TV game as a neutral. There are, of course, occasional exceptions to that and poor decisions made. When we watch our own team's games, we of course want decisions to go our way, and get caught up in the emotion of it. Such is life.
