Answering Back : Mon Jul 27, 2009 1:32 pm  

I'm fed up of it, we've watched Briers do it for years, Leeds seem to want to do it and yesterday Catalans did it on numerous occasions, Elima, Ryles, McGuire and then Greenshields had to be told twice to go to the sinbin as he questioned the decision so much.

Time the RFL stamped it out ASAP before Rugby League turns into Soccer.

I disagree with every word of your post.

It's nowhere near as bad as soccer, and never will be.

Rugby league will not turn into soccer.

And what do you expect them to do, to ''stamp it out''?

You can get sent to the sinbin for f*cking laughing, ask carl ablett, that's a joke.

And besides, the refs come up with some truly awful decisions, they should be held accountable more.

Our players aren't emotionless robots. In the heat of battle if theres a gterrible call it will be questioned.

Nothing, IMO, Rugby League has an image where we respect the officials, yesterday and watching Leeds recently has been crazy, i remember a time when Iestyn Harris was being sin-binned and still said "it wasn't me sir, I didn't do it sir"

I've noticed various Saints players do it of recent.

The answer is simple, march ten meters, sin bin if it persists. It is down to the ref having a pair though.

The development of the Pre-Maddona's in RL has snuck relatively under the radar until this season. It is only a minor problem now, and will be very very easy to stamp out. All it takes is some stones in the middle.

It will get that way if we allow players to get away with it though, more and more we seem to see players thinking they have the right to mouth off at the ref if they don't agree with a decision and that is wrong and needs to be stamped out.

If it takes penalising every player that does it and if they do it a second time in a game sending them to the sin bin then so be it but the message needs to be clear and consistent.

At the Galpharm yesterday to watch what happened were you?

Have a crystal ball? you don't know that.

Let me know after you've had a look into that crystal ball again!

A simple Yellow Card will do the trick, Ben Thaler dished out a couple 2 weeks ago at Wigan and there was no more back-chat for the rest of the game.

Everyone should know not to laugh at Ganson!

The only part of your post I agree with, Cummings protects the referees too much, if they make a mistake, admit it and move on, the players make mistakes every week, i'm pretty sure that the referees if they admit they make mistakes they will be accepted

Why will it be questioned all of a sudden we've gone for over 100 years without decisions being questioned, why is it acceptable now?

The only problem is, Ganson is the only one with a set, and he gets slated if he does!

Players are getting penalised for it, though. Look how much dissent leeds have had recently.
