Sacking Annesley is not the answer, he will only be replaced by another suit and it will be rinse and repeat. The main thing that needs to be addressed is Accountability.
I'm keen to explore two options:
Last 10 min report:
An official review released by the NRL that evaluates the officiating in the final 10 minutes of games and any golden point periods.
The idea is one for accountability but also, we are rightly or wrongly fixated on one single decision. An officiating report may support we got robbed or show that on balance in the final 10 mins we or they or whatever should also have received penalties here, here and here...
It's not perfect but short of wheeling the officials out into a post match press conference (which is never ever going to happen) it is at least one way to find some accountability.
Golden Point Captains Challenge:
Each team shall receive 1 captains challenge in golden point
Anyway, that's my two pieces I would like explored.

- Last 10 minute report (similar to NBA 2 minute report).
- An additional Captains Challenge in Golden point.

- You either keep the one you have
- If you have already used it, you get given 1 for golden point.
- We believe without Mahoneys tip, the kick seemed to be going over
- We believe Mahoney was not square at marker.
- We should have the right to challenge it!
Anyway, that's my two pieces I would like explored.
