Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2873654, member: 1899"] The one criticism against Smith that I've never understood is his relationship with referees. The media (particularly from NSW) have a field day and act like Smith is a master manipulator since he talks to referees like they're human beings and challenges the rationale of their decisions. What do they want him to do? To yell at the referees like Graham, Gallen and Thurston? Everybody should be following Smith's example. This seemed to crop up after Game 3 2013 when the streaker ran onto the field. The call was always going to go the Maroons way and Smith just happened to weigh in. I can sort of understand the issues fans have with the Storm's Brazillian Jiu Jitsu in the ruck, but the criticisms against Smith have always smelled of sour grapes. [/QUOTE]
