Its disgusting and has no part in modern life.
It doesn't help when the players and coaches use this as a deflection technique to hide their own short comings. Newman is a prime example - his behaviour on the field is appalling yet many on here will defend him to the hilt. Smith is obviously feeling the pressure!! You never see them highlighting where they have bad decisions go their way!! Players constantly trying to con the ref - how often do you see players claim tries they know they haven't scored - blame anyone when they drop the ball cold. If we want better refereeing the players and the coaches have to do their bit.
Journalists the same and fans who take the game far too seriously as the idiot above. It starts with junior RL where parents should know better but behave like complete numpties egged on by each other - its a disgrace.
Remember - No ref, no game
