Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2824172, member: 8215"] Let the refs blow a penalty for every incident that breaks the rules. It might "ruin the flow of the game", but it's not the refs faults and it'll only be for that game. These dirty fucking players, and more importantly, the scum fucking coaches who encourage and craft their playing style on foul play, will get the hint really bloody fast. Here's the stupidity. The 7 tackle, 20 metre restart was brought in to discourage tactics like deliberately kicking dead instead of letting Slater run the ball back. Completely within the rules, great tactic. But because it "took away from the excitement", the new rule was introduced. And yet, standing 3 metres offside in defence, lying all over the ruck, and repeatedly, intentionally committing professional fouls are all tactics designed to stifle, and suffocate, a team's attacking opportunities. And are all tolerated. Unless of course a team needs a piggy-back because the match is in danger of ruining "smallest average winning margins". The Storm Sharks was not a blight because of the slap. It was a blight because it represented everything wrong about how teams are coached to win, and how gutless the refs are to stamp it out. Thd game is diseased. Banning slapping is like banning sneezing - they're just symptoms of a system being fucked up. [/QUOTE]
