Quote: tigertot "The reason Sinfield does it, the reason Farrell & Sculthorp did it, the reason every Aussie captain I have seen in 30 years did it, the reason Alex Ferguson continually questions every decision, is not to reverse the decision just made but to make the ref think twice the next time before ruling against their team.'"
You didn't say that though, you asked whether a specific decision would've been reversed
However, you make a serious point. Whether Sinfield's comments to refs have been effective in the way you suggest I couldn't say. There have been times when I've suspected he's been too persistent, to a point where the ref's got hacked off and actually given our opponents the benefit of any doubt going.
