All the usual suspects circle the wagons when troubles arise. They all support Stuart because of his 'passion'. Should this defense work in any junior teams when abuse is given? According to the ARL deadheads, abuse is OK if you can prove 'passion'. Their messages of support for this coaching grub will no doubt be taken as open slather for all those on the field and in positions of team control to abuse referees if they don't like the outcome so long as it's associated with 'passion'.. What ever happened to good sportsmanship. I always thought that abuse of referees was a no-no from officials and players. But then again, what would I know.
