THE bloodshed started on Monday night with all six match officials behind rugby league's seven-tackle try drama unceremoniously dumped.

Blundering referees Matt Cecchin and Henry Perenara were the first to go before video referees Jason Robinson and Matt Rodwell were then axed, as were touch judges Jeff Younis and Michael Wise. 

None will officiate another NRL game this season.

The decision is little consolation for North Queensland, who conceded a try on the seventh tackle to lose last Saturday's sudden-death semi-final against Cronulla. 

NRL officials last night announced the refereeing appointments for this week's games and all six were missing.

"What's it matter to us now?" asked Cowboys football manager Peter Parr.

"It's not going to turn back the clock for us. You'd expect this would happen.

"Someone had to be held accountable and they decided all were six were."

The NRL has been left embarrassed and battered by this controversy.

It appeared they simply had to dump all six match officials to salvage some dignity from this entire mess.

"Unfortunately, it is the right decision," said former NRL Referee's Coach Bill Harrigan.

"It had to be done. All six have to own responsibility for that decision."

On Monday the NRL began taking steps to prevent a repeat scandal through a match review conducted by referees elite performance manager Daniel Anderson and NRL head of football, Todd Greenberg. 

As of today, on-field referees will be expected to vocalise each tackle to ensure players and other match officials are aware of how many tackles have been made in each set. 

Each match official has been told to share the responsibility of counting tackles.

"The referees accept that there are consequences for actions and that is likely to cost them significantly in the finals series ahead when Daniel confirms his appointments," Greenberg said. 

"We do need to keep a sense of perspective. At our end we need to ensure that everything can be done to prevent human error. 

"We also need to accept that in a game as intense and as fast paced as rugby league that you will never eradicate all mistakes either on the part of the players or the officials. 

"We will be doing everything we can to ensure this does not happen again."

The NRL also reviewed security which allowed fans to abuse Cowboys players and why a technical breakdown for the match clock occurred in the final minute of the game.
