[QUOTE="Number6, post: 2947595, member: 9008"] Watching post game of Titans Bunnies made me sick seeing the king with those sycophants Johns and Fatty. They made the entire case why we need more penalties enforced and didn’t realise it. They admitted teams are trying to get away with sh*t by holding down or being offside so their solution is let them... They talked about how great he origin was with no penalties (forgot 5-1 count conveniently and NSW lying on the ruck all night) and their argument is let the players sort out who wins... why bother with refs by their logic just let players play and see what happens. Cheating won’t be encouraged at all we’ll just go honour system hey? They advocate letting the players decide who wins but how is that possible when they argue for ‘game management’ where refs decide arbitrarily on which penalties are worth blowing and which interfere with flow of the game! How about instead we have a set of rules, make them relatively simple, enforce them consistently. If highly paid professional teams and coaches can’t play by these rules they get to see how they go with 12 or 11 on the field. I agree don’t need 17 penalties a game. After first one or two of that type then rest of the game they are on notice next one goes to the bin or if more than x penalties per game then bin (preferably 5 mins bin). After that bin every second penalty. They will learn or lose - don’t have a problem there. As long as these douches are pushing back (is it their agenda or someone elses, hilarious they accuse the refs of being controlled by higher powers) of course teams will be encouraged to keep pushing, waiting for crackdown to end. For me issue isn’t the enforcement of rules it’s the inconsistent messages and failure to escalate more quickly and consistently to the bin or other options than often meaningless penalties on the 20. Imagine how free flowing game can be without wrestling slowing ruck, guys 2m offside every play and teams taking the p*ss with deliberate penalties inside their own 20. If players are afraid of giving a penalty will stop breaking rules or won’t be on field to break rules either way penalty count problem solved. Not only that but can’t keep chasing the quick buck with fairytales and no penalty games. Integrity means longevity for the game. If you want WWE watch that. I know a number of genuine fans who refuse to watch because of perceptions of bias or poor officiating in general. The commentators are a close second on sh*t list mind you. [/QUOTE]
