What frustrates me , is they use the cumulative penalties as a stat to counter prove his argument, knowing full well that’s not what he’s talking about . He’s talking about the howler , the short whistle , the escort where you’re sent to the bin ( last night Foran blatantly held back a player who was screaming through for a try a scoring position-penalty) , the 3 infringements and you’re off made up rule .
We have copped more howlers in the last 5 years then every team has combined in the nrl era . Thats what he’s talking about . Penalty for lying in the ruck 60m out from the tryline is hardly the same thing .
