What's the NRL CEO doing wearing a storm Jersey in the warriors dressing room. What was he doing showing a video session on the game lol.

I think it just highlighted how poor a referee Cummins is. Spent half the game yelling out 'milking' and refusing to award the Warriors a penalty or 6 again, then gives Cam a penalty for ... milking.

Unbelievable.

He (Smith) essentially stopped the game and refused to play until he was awarded a penalty. Was one of the clearest and most obvious displays of his influence over the refs.

Would Cameron Smith have walked into the Warriors dressing room post-match and given the Warriors a "talk" if the Storm got smashed 50-6 or he himself had a shocker of a match? No way!

That was the last thing the Warriors needed after that result, let alone the way Smith conducted himself during the match, such as milking penalties. One of the biggest turn-offs in the game over the past decade or so is the inconsistency in refereeing decisions regarding on-field infringements involving certain players as well as decisions made at the judiciary (we all know who these players are, especially when it comes to State of Origin).

Smith came across as a complete smartarse doing what he did last night, rubbing salt into the wounds and conveying this whole "Look how good we are! We're much better than you!" smug attitude.

Great example of empathic leadership on show, knows the warriors are doing it tough and takes time out from celebrating a great victory with his team mates to go and give them some words of support. True champion.
