[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 571334, member: 20605"] Well I support SANZAR's stand over Graham Henry's outburst. I can assure you that his comments as reported in that article are a sanitised version of what he actually said. Just because he is a RWC winning coach does not put him above the Laws of the game. Personally, I would like to see a return to the way referees were treated in my playing and refereeing days; Firstly, only the captain was allowed to speak to the referee, no-one else, and secondly, any other player who spoke to, or verbally complained to the referee, was told to shut up, by both his captain and the referee. I hope they throw the book at Hartley. It will send a clear and unambiguous message to all players that a [U]zero tolerance approach[/U] will be taken with all verbal abuse of match officials. If they don't, then they will allow the thin end of the wedge in, and the trouble with wedges is that people have no real idea how wide the other end is. [/QUOTE]
