Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2960598, member: 9008"] While I agree with refs pinging us as likely, refs will only penalise so much against one team and aside from sin bins penalties especially in the 20 have not been much of a worry. Even up penalties later are frequently in more valuable position. Problem is by being quick most of the time the odd time we are slow it looks bad by comparison and gives the ref an excuse. A few rounds of getting off slow with Storm style tactics and no one will notice or they will cry murder and we present evidence of other teams doing the same. If they penalise us out of a game then we take control of the media narrative for once and put NRL into line. I like putting refs on notice but need to be a lot less thinly veiled with these thick headed f***s. As for people saying want to see team play properly. Lying in tackles and wrestling is the key to defence now. I don’t like it but it has been inseparable from Rugby League in NRL. If your priority is to take the high road rather the team focus on actual good examples to the kids watching like respectful but firm negotiation with refs rather than whinging, McGuire being less of a grub and not punching on. Otherwise play fair but also play the whistle. [/QUOTE]
