Message: [QUOTE="m1c, post: 2401373, member: 1944"] The refs' in the Storm-Warriors game had the right idea. At this point in the comp all sides just want to play football - so they let them. Both teams had the odd defender that lingered a touch too long in the play the ball, however the referees realised this was the exception rather than the norm, and let it go. IMO when it comes to 'hands on the ball' or slowing down the ruck, only consecutive or blatantly obvious infringements should warrant a penalty. It's fantastic that the players had complete control over tonight's result. On a side note: Why do the referees seem to think they need to blow several penalties in the first few minutes to impose their authority? They certainly aren't setting a standard. Hodges was the victim last night. No doubt we all noticed dozens of worse, un-penalised infringements as the game wore on. [/QUOTE]
