The penalty the ref gave to the Bulldogs for foul play in the tackle when Kikau was tackled and in the tackle his head made contact with Papalli's knee was a case of looking for something that did not happen and resulted in Bateman approaching the ref and the penalty was rightly overruled - and that was just one poor decision that effected a captain's challenge. That onus is all on the referees poor decision making and is what caused the players to lose faith in the referees ability to manage the game. I didn't see anything from our captain that was more disrespectful than any other captain would be under the same circumstances. When you are in the wrong you accept it, but if you allow yourself to be a victim unjustly without a whimper then you also deserve everything you get. If you don't want the captain to approach the ref take away the captain's challenge or in the refs case get your rulings right.
