Message: [QUOTE="Stix, post: 2859091, member: 8595"] It 100% happens and not just NRL. I was talking about this with a mate of mine who was a sports trainer for the AFL umpires and he would be in the sheds with the umpires at half time and the conversations were pretty much this... "so Collingwood have been penalised a fair bit that half so let's look extra hard at Sydney this half and try and even things out", "look for so and so who's always hanging on" or whatever. It's horse shit, but this is how they are instructed to do their job. How many outcomes could have been different had momentum not been changed through a couple of strategic penalties? I love NRL nearly more than life itself but this part of the show is eating away at me. [/QUOTE]
