Message: [QUOTE="redbur95, post: 2741617, member: 8221"] Tim Gore wrote on The Roar recently about Michael Ennis giving away 6 penalties in 15 minutes last week, which shows how smart Ennis really is (seriously). He knew full well that the ref was never going to sin-bin him for repeated fouls, so every time Canberra looked dangerous he shut the move down and allowed Cronulla to reset their defence. Canberra only scored one try for the match after that because their attack was continually frustrated by attacking a prepared Sharks side. I don't blame Ennis for that behaviour. If there's no threat of sin-binning, why make an effort to stay within the rules at the risk of conceding a try? Once he gave away his 3rd penalty, the ref should have binned him there and then. The 5-minute sin bin needs to be brought back for deliberate repeated fouls. Refs don't want a team to be disadvantaged for a whole 10 mins - the other team might use the extra player to their advantage, God forbid! [/QUOTE]
