Given the widening gap in rules and interpretation of these two variants of the one game, is it fair that an NRL referee oversee games between them, or should they even be playing each other? I've watched a lot of both games and it's obvious that ESL is moving to a quicker and less confrontational style of the game. The 'world cup' is obviously being played under the NRL style, which definitely favours Australia and the teams with large numbers of NRL players. Should anyone care?Â
