Referees and Pathetic English

I quote: 'The NRL statement continued: "Finch today also announced that the referees’ interpretation of the advantage rule would revert back to the discretion of the referees ..." '
This is typical of the standard of the NRL in that even the English is pathetic. Tautological nonsense in that one cannot revert forward...therefore, as anyone with an ounce of English knowledge can attest, the word 'revert' stands alone and does not require a directional adverb.
Poor English; poor refereeing, poor judgement.
