I think that's harsh on Trent. Coaches have to front press conferences as part of their contract then get stung for stating the obvious. I thought the NRL were right to be criticised in this instance. Let's just keep gagging people because to powers that be don't like being scrutinised.
Whilst I agree in principle, it's The Chooks so fu*k em. Brthur didn't comment on what was painfully obvious that the referees interpretation of the ruck totally changed after half time. Or that the halftime committee meeting of the Refs, the Bunker, Abdo, Annersley and Uncle Nick came up with the decision to put Drown on report 20 mins after the incident. I'm more annoyed that Pricky didn't get a gazillion dollar fine as well.

Next time it could be the Eels in Trent's position and BA will be compelled to say nothing in fear of a fine, etc, ad nauseam. I think it's wrong and needs to be addressed. Anyhooz, that's how I feel.

Considering how dominant we were, it was telling how much quicker the Chooks' play-the-ball was than ours. Teams are going to keep holding us down and refs are going to continue to be unfairly scrutinised for lopsided set restart counts.

Well the Chooks and (to a slightly lesser extent) the Sharks have been doing this for at least 15 years, and nobody has stopped them so far.

You know, they do have that other thing they can do for repeat infringements.

Nath Brown is a lock for a sin bin tomorrow.

Wearing the white jerseys too.

Not sure why we're not wearing our yellow - hardly clashes with the Warriors
