[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 713030, member: 20605"] No, I don't agree actually. I think fans hold referees to a much higher standard that they do players. Referees don't knock the ball on, throw forward passes or miss tackles. They don't make poor tactical decisions either. Referees also do not spend their spare time look for ways to subvert the Laws to their advantage the way that coaches do. If you really want to repair the game, then one way would be to suspend and heavily fine coaches whose teams play the game outside the spirit of the Laws Dock those teams competition points too. Rugby was a really exciting sport to watch in the early years of Professionalism (1996 to 2000). Wind back some time and watch some of the exhilarating matches in the Super 12 from those years, and compare them with the stagnant borefest that passes as rugby union these days,,, endless bash and crash, endless scrum resetsssssszzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
