[QUOTE="unrated, post: 950966, member: 45773"] I saw a guy posting it over the weekend. Lots of cheat claims has already been leveled against Barret. On the one side some people says "it happens all the time, don't worry" on the other side people are saying that it's blatant cheating. If they don't allow doping in sport because it gives a performance enhancing advantage and this gives a performance enhancing advantage then what makes this different from cheating? Some might argue "but it's so marignal" "probably won't even notice a difference". Well those arguments can be applied to both what Barret did and marginal forms of doping. Just remember guys getting caught out for doping does not always use harcote substances such as steroids. Sometimes it's drugs that only has very slight effects that at one point might have been legal until WR changed rules. So this is to me comparable to sandpaper gate from the Audsies in the cricket. So you might say this is an over reaction. OK fine we can use that narrative. It's OK right? I mean that would not have had much of an influence on the game anyway right? Let's leave it then and forget. But... Let it now become a practice. Let's see how well you can coordinate with your teammates so that they can help signal you when the ref is looking away so that you can kick the ball further. Make it a common practice. So I think he should be cited. Just like with post game red cards. A citing commissioners sees it he says its not in the spirit of the game, same as a player spitting another ( refer to Nico Lee Pro 14) If you are reading this and think there is nothing wrong with this and then in advance that he should not be punished. Saying that it's just Cheeky, oh that Barret let's just laugh at how cheeky he is... No harm done... Then do you advocate it happening on a regular basis and if not, why not? [/QUOTE]
