Since the punch has been outlawed with the sin bin, we have been subjected to the constant run in melees which make the game extremely ugly. A suspect high shot would always become a penalty because everyone runs in, mouth of, push and shove and bitch slap with their handbags. A tackle gone wrong has the same effect.
Last night, Api, in a good tackle, put a Cowboy in a dangerous position. No one ran in. The player was safe and his welfare was attended to straight away. Everyone got on with the game. Try that against Souths, Canterbury and probably Easts and see how crappy the game goes.
