Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3005491, member: 8215"] On the radio the other morning (yesterday?) they had Annersley talking about how the refs last year were expecting an "impossible" standard by the players. That's a fucking cop out. No one expects teams to be able to give away zero penalties, there will always be infringements, it's up to the refs to blow the whistle to prevent it from happening repeatedly. What he really meant was that there were teams that were refusing to play to the rules, and that the NRL was too soft to blow 20+ penalties on those teams because they'd then be criticised for ruining the game. At the start of the season, the Storm, Roosters and Sharks (IIRC) were struggling big time, because rubbish in the ruck is how they control games. The moment their shit was once again tolerated was when they started winning. [/QUOTE]
