Two games on tonight. Three clear instances at least of the things we all hate about football (even as a big fan) in the two games:1. Richardson throwing himself to the floor, and the ref siding with it…if he doesn’t go down, it’s never a penalty.
2. Saints players flying at the ref follwoung high shot on Coote (Makinson ridiculous).
3. Bentley with the hand-on-head grimace after a near air shot across the back of his head.
Seeing it more & more with the zero tolerance approach to head contact. The referees need to wise up a little/use VR if possible (not sure this can be done?).
FWIW, if Bentley is in a team that isn’t winning every week, he could turn out to be a mega penalty machine for unnecessary shithousery - akin to how some of our guys were vs Saints.
Creeping in more & more…refs here aren’t a patch on the NRL ones, who let far more inconspicuous issues where there’s clearly no damage done to.
