Solution: simplify the rules. Any slash above the knee or on the hands should be called a slash. Right now, people get slashed 30 times a game, and the refs call it whenever they feel like or when someone shakes their wrists. Any contact on another player's head should be roughing. Jabs to the face, headlocks, facewashes. Roughing. This will also help reduce all of the useless scrums. Any free hand wrapped around another player is a hold.
Make concrete, non-subjective rules, and more consistent refereeing will follow.

Ugh, the constant slashing. You aren’t exaggerating about the amount of times at all, and they add absolutely nothing to the game. You do it because you are out of position. That’s it. Call them all and it’ll completely stop happening, which will reduce injuries and provide more exciting uninterrupted plays in a game.
If they want to keep the scrums in for intensity sake, I can understand that. Although I don’t like the grey area. But the slashing is completely useless.
