[QUOTE="Mikel92, post: 688039, member: 71857"] Totally agree on some of the points there. We should absolutely stamp out foul play, we don't want that becoming more frequent in our sport. Penalties will always play a part in the game, and it's important that we have them. And hey, they'll even decide match outcomes sometimes. But there is just something wrong with what is starting to creep in, particularly this year. It's like the Home team gets an extra set of eyes. And that isn't fair, no matter the team, no matter the venue. Just my opinion. Restricting this would be tricky though, I totally understand. I'm sure there is some legislation or rules or contract arrangements for Broadcaster freedom. But still....worth addressing at the very least. If we can't do that, then I'd still be into the referral idea. I think I read it was tried in South Africa? Perhaps players like Dane Coles would feel less inclined to take matters into their own hands if they knew there was a proper way of dealing with it. Also acting as a disincentive for players to be prats at ruck time and hold players down. Maybe 1 or 2 appeals a game or something so we're not checking something every 5 minutes? [/QUOTE]
