It really is mate and it sickens me.

We used to be able to say that we watched the toughest game in the world and actually mean it.

The way things are these days, It would be a lie.

It’s creeping in and not just in other teams.

French last night milked the pen from Sneyd when he shoved in to him.

Plus a part of me thinks Smithies didn’t need to make that tackle the ball was well on its way when he made contact. Really needs to start thinking. Batty use to have this trait and eventually he smartened up. Other teams see Smithies as an easy pen

Farrell did it last season at Magic. It was a high tackle, but I'm not sure it's given if Faz doesn't stay down.

French at least stayed on his feet last night even if he did make the contact look more severe than it was.

Myler is a true expert. He runs a line across the oncoming defender, shielding the ball with his body. The defender has to commit, Myler sees the defender coming, passes the ball, then when there's minimal contact goes down and stays there till the ref gets the shout in the ear.

Disagree with this one. French recoil is a little OTT, but Sneyd didn't need to raise the elbow.

I've watched Sneyd a few times now this year and the guys a grade A tool. Complains at every decision, niggles in that tackle & the salute after he's taken 5 mins to line up a kick is laughable. You've got a grown man doing a salute after kicking a goal, it's embarrassing. You ain't Ronaldo son, so leave it out.
