[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 973953, member: 71826"] Mate, I've seen you post and I know you're a rational human being. But we're all prone to bias towards our own team, it's no criticism of you personally, but do you think maybe that's what's going on here...? Whitelock hit someone in the face, that is a clear penalty within the laws, there really isn't any argument about that. Whether Farrell milked it is another question, but there is no law or precedent for overturning a foul play penalty because the victim milked it. A player from Team A hit a player from Team B in the face. Team B were awarded a penalty. "Not the worst decision in the game" is a bit of an understatement! [/QUOTE]
