storm getting away with murder in the ruck

They're disgustingly effective at wrestling. I honestly don't know why teams don't blow up more often. Surely using that as a tactic would force the referees to better scrutinise the Storms slowing down tactics

Opposition players should literally just stand behind the tackle pushing off the Storm grubs who take liberties where necessary.

I guess they're so good at it that refs would side with them stil and acting up would just further handicap teams.

That's why I consider Nathan Browns post game presser after we played Melbourne and Ryles was sent off during a scrum, as one of the greatest post game sprays ever.

watch how often mop head lifts the leg after refs calls held

But surely if the refs aren't doing anything then its up to the players (broncos players in this case) to blow up and make the ref put Proctor under the microscope.

If everytime Protcter lifted someones leg, a Broncos player ran over and pushed him away/to the floor, the ref would have no choice but to better police the ruck

I think players need to show more dissent/balls if the ref isn't doing his job.

Great tackle on Koro
