I've been watching the way the Rugby refs have been speaking and interacting with players, it makes the NRL look amateurish and Neanderthal like.
They don't tolerate the players blowing up and communicate clearly both ways. The way the discuss decisions with the TMO is the way the NRL should...
Now I'm not a sexist by any means but I'm torn on watching this.
On one hand I respect the skills, fitness etc involved but I don't like seeing women with bruised and bloody faces.
After 19 rounds I'm convinced that this was a knee jerk reaction that has resulted in some of the softest penalties/reports and suspensions I've ever seen.
The Dugan suspension is the perfect example of both the flawed rule and the judiciary.
Thoughts?

Bit rich of him to whinge about spirit of the game. I'm pretty sure the wrestle the storm employs negate the surrender anyway

Round 7 Broncos v Raiders Post Match Discussion
We looked crap for the first 15, awesome in parts and good in others.
The back 3 were awesome soo safe under the high ball apart from that kick by Campese.
Hunt and Norman wow! Wish Norman would back himself in open space.
