Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3451584, member: 9853"] I never said I believe it's "fair and equitable," I said this: [INDENT]"The NRL does a decent, though [U]arguably flawed[/U], job of trying to create a level playing field. But if the field isn't level, one team that is surely on the tip of the upper slope is the Broncos. We have no excuses."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] I think they get it mostly right. The rest is swings and roundabouts. I think the high ground is accepting the referee's decision is final, knowing they're flawed human beings like all of us, and knowing sometimes the bank error is in your favour. I think reacting in a knee jerk cynical manner deflates the integrity of the competition and makes you a sore loser. Not only does it detract from your victorious opposition's sense of achievement, it ruins your own when it rolls around. I realize you will find ample company along the low road that leads to Coward's Castle, but I don't want to join you or engage in it. It's beneath me. And this is from someone whose favourite jokes tend to involve dicks and arses. All that said, I do think the Warriors get the rough end of the pineapple a lot but they tend to be more gracious about it. But not us. [/QUOTE]
