The stupid laying on, the lifting of legs, stripping of balls. If we didn't stupidly do these things then the ref wouldn't be in a position to use his own interpretation.
So no they are penalties because they are penalties.
You get the drift.....

No wonder refs are held in such low esteem. Don't respond with "they're only human" as their decisions can seriously affect the result of a game and yet in most cases they don't suffer the consequences of their decisions.

Clearly intellect is not your strong point.

And yes trying watching the game without your blinkers on you will see it in a different light.

indiscipline,poor defence some poor kicks from Sneyd,no dummy runners in attack and people blame the referee.
