Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 2482488, member: 2065"] Yes, that is my view. The issue probably really is not at NRL level, where you are dealing with professional refs and professional players. You would hope that both of these would be able to work their way through a player/ref discussion without any significant problems. The issue with any form of discretion or grey area involving the touching of officials is at a more junior level where you might have a 17-18 year old ref adjudicating over 12-16 year old players without the same level of impulse control as professional players have. A lot of sports are already having difficulties in attracting people to take on official roles, in my view we do not want to give anyone the idea it is appropriate (in some circumstances) for a player to touch an official (even just to innocently emphasis a point).
