Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3145314, member: 9326"] I understand what you're saying and I've already agreed with it, our discipline is simply not good enough and we make it very hard for ourselves with the number of penalties we've conceded in recent years. Let's assume we do turn that discipline around though, it might even out our deficit overall, but until we can be awarded even just a mid table number of penalties in our favour, we are constantly going to struggle to compete on a regular basis. People are constantly frustrated with our Forwards being flat footed, not breaking the line or even making the advantage line, and our Halves constantly kicking into opposition players arms, but honestly, that sort of stuff should not be surprising when on any given week we are left constantly rucking the ball out of our own end on our own because we only average around 3.5 penalties a week and other sides are averaging almost twice that many. I appreciate we cannot change things that are in the Referee's control mid game, but at a Coaching and administration level it means we're either: (A) Doing something seriously wrong on field and have been for almost a decade now apparently, in which case the bare minimum that a decent organisation would have done is at least engage the Referees to come up and attend training and talk to the players about what they're doing wrong and why they are consistently amongst the worse in the competition at having penalties awarded to us. or (B) The Referees are genuinely not treating us fairly, in which case we should be honestly jumping up and down about it in the media far more than we are. God knows that's worked for other clubs. Either way, to pretend it isn't a genuine issue or to do absolutely nothing about it is honestly a failure by the club no matter what the cause is. [/QUOTE]
