Agreed.
jbb/james said:When you look at what Hall did in perspective to the game/environment he is involved in , its a consistent acceptable behavior pattern, and I don't think he should carry the can for every other wanker that s**t on sacred traditions, and setting the bar lower before he was old enough to hold a footy
I cant believe Hall is being held accountable for this by some. If the ref had done his job, hall would be laughed at by all.
When Greg Hartley allowed Manly to score on the 7th tackle, was it Manlys fault, should they have forfetied, should the kicker have said, time out time out, we have already had 6 tackles , give it to parra for a scrum. Greg hartley has carried the can ever since and the Manly team went on to win the GF. Was the kicker labelled a cheat or a scummy dog because he played on
If you cant draw any comparisms to that incident, then obviously its all about the rant and not common sense
1) His actions - his accountability. I can easily hold him accountable for his diving.
2) No, I cant draw comparisons to that incident. In one, an opposition player deliberately dives to the ground to prevent the other team from scoring, in the other the referee made a mistake. Manly had not tried to do anything illegal. If Manly players were all shouting numbers at the ref in an attempt to confuse him you may have a case.
edit: I will add that I think there's always going to be 2 schools of thought here. btw suncorp = lang park!
edit edit: Plus we could spend years going through all the different incidents, and it's too hot over here.
