[QUOTE="SimonG, post: 642215, member: 71048"] Some really good points there...totally agree that the ref has far too big a say in Union, especially giving pens. One way to decrease that would be to reduce pens to 2 points (or even increase tries to 8). For most casual fans such as myself, we don't have a scooby do what the pen was given for most of the time...seems completely at the whim of the ref (especially when the pundits in commentary constantly question them). Interesting comment on the snobbish old boy network in the game....that was my perception but not being among them i haven't witnessed it first hand. Have seen this attitude towards other sports though (league especially). [/QUOTE]
