I love my Rugby League. Yes call me a dirty rotten bevan all you like but I love it. I was bought up in an AFL household and I am proud to say that we ended up a League household. Over the years the superior game became apparent and was made the staple television diet during winter, especially at origin time.

I have a few concerns about the NRL at the moment, the softness in head high tackle penalties, the lack of the occasional biff but the biggest threat is a man, a man called Phil Gould. As a commentator talking about the game in general I can live with him, I even sometimes enjoy his insight but he is starting to wear thin in one area.

His over the top whinging!!!!

The video referee should be banned.
The video referee does not understand the game
It takes to long to make a decision.
There are to many delays in the play
The referee should take control of the game himself
The referee’s don’t understand what a shepard is
That wasn’t a knock on
That wasn’t a head high
That wasn’t a forward pass

Sure there is reason to have a whinge sometimes and I am not saying that any of the above are not legitimate gripes but dude….. drop it back a notch. You will get a title role on this blog if you continue down the sookin path.

Teaspoon of concrete Gouldy and shut the F…. up!
