Quote: uglybug "Watched the Aus v New Zealand game, first penalty was late in the second half, the game flowed and was a cracking advert for RL.
Perhaps players are a little more disciplined down under, but referees dont let players milk penalties all the time. Perhaps we need 2 refs, one with experience to mentor younger ones, just as long as one isn't Chlds, I'll be happy'"
I don't think the players were any more disciplined, I think Silverwood just ignored a lot of minor offences that usually get penalised over here - whether he'd been told to do that or did it on his own initiative, I don't know.
