Sadly as soon as we adopt that tactic the refs remember where they put their whistle!

We’re the worst team for failing to exploit weakness in the referee. We need to be smarter.

Or is it we only look at other teams misdemeanours as fans and not at our own.
I've observed our ptb, defensive lines and slowing the play down when thinking about this previously and we are no different to any other team in SL.

Difference is we don't watch our own team and only focus on the opposition when it comes to infringements.

Cracks me up this conspiracy theory we get pinged more by the ref, not smart enough or are whiter than white.

It's all bollox and a pointless thread.

Just my opinion of course.

Yes actually. Right in front of our sticks.

I thought the same but it was only really the offsides that were completely uncontrolled. Didn't think there was too much in the ruck. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a referee's directive as it was on the beeb. Well done to wire for spotting it and taking advantage

Watch SOO and they get away with murder. high shots, niggling ruck, offsides... The Refs let more slide because it improves the spectacle. Common sense has to be applied. If it isn't directly affecting the play then there's no point blowing up. Id much rather see refs doing that than seeing 30+ penalties every game like some SL matches have become.
