That's a very one eyed view. ALL teams are involved in it- including Giants, and if not encouraged by the coaches, neither is it discouraged from their own players - and mcdermotts darlings are just as guilty! A lot of talk about how poor the refereeing standards are- not at all- it's the fact refs are having to decide what's genuine, what's play acting, and whether to blow the whistle for 1/2, 1 or 2 metres offside by 2,4 or 6 players, because he blows for every infringement the game would take 2 hours.
Jools. The refereeing standards are abysmal. I know a refereeing assesor and he says they are poor quality. Foul and cheating play should be heavily penalized and carded if need be irrispective of how many players are in the bin. Then the coaches will start coaching rugby again instead of cheating tactics if they are losing games.
And we could start with the basics of rugby league, like playing the ball properly with the foot, it is just a joke with most players now, they just stride over it.
I noticed the other week when Leigh were playing that most of their players played the ball pretty well and legal and look where they ended up in the league. The laws/rules of the game are there to be carried out and it is up to the referees to follow them and they are not doing their job, that`s why people are losing interest. The players/coaches and referees are not being honest any more.
