Blame the refs for being such incompetant assclowns, not Hally.
Wrong, it was disgraceful sportsmanship.
So do you think Robbie Farrah has good sportsmanship as the king of the dives? If you do I would suggest you are the only one I know of.
They play the game to win, sportsmanship doesn't come in to it. If a player can save his team a try (& possibly 2 crucial competition points) by taking a dive then I'd say that just about every bloke in the comp would do it. I also doubt that you'd find any Manly players crying foul over Hall's dive.
nah, just the coach at the press conference.
Some here think it's poor form to bash hall who played for us.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't carry over any warm and fuzzy feelings when an ex player lines up against us so I'll bag his sportsmanship without any misplaced residual guilt.
I find bad sportsmanship a lack of good character. Just like that swimmer who admits he cheated to win gold but 'so what.'
Understanding that some of you think 'sports'manship have no place in 'sports' (?) but I'm happy I'm wired to still be tied into old out dated adages such as, well sportsmanship, honour, and integrity.
If I didn't want to see any of that, I could watch soccer and it's diving.😛
The new commission has to be serious about cleaning this aspect up and I'd say it's a professional foul, try gets awarded and 2 mins in the bin for 'fibbing.' (that's right, 2, not 10.) - and mouth washed out with soap.
PS - I like golf.
