Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2931216, member: 9008"] It’s not about getting the ref to change the current decision and Smith knows that, it’s about the next few calls. Smith is a QC out there, Boyd looks like a petulant 4 year old in comparison. Smith has a generally respectful tone and treats refs like people so they like him which helps. So when he then goes asshole they are off balance and feel bad for upsetting him. If there is any chance they have screwed up he asks questions so next time they will think twice about that and maybe puts a square up penalty in the back of their mind. It’s harder to blow penalties when you know you have to be on the stand getting his cross examination. He also manipulated the speed of the game and the clock while his players have a smoko getting their line set. Smith is clever and is a master at it, but most of those skills aren’t that hard - most anything is better than shrugging shoulders and saying what the f*** is that? Waiting for I’ll tell my daddy Wayne in you every time he opens his mouth at this stage. [/QUOTE]
