The SL has got to do something about players going down for minor injuries and asking for the game to be stopped. It's being abused too much. Is it time for a player having to leave the pitch for a number of tackles if treatment has been given on the pitch? Yes it would penalise the genuinely injured. But until theres a downside to stopping the game players are clearly going to do it at will.
Josh Jones touched his nose after he tackled Jacko then went down like a sack of sh** then the trainers come on & ref says it’s a head injury! Game stopped
Powell goes down with a knock, trainer is on, game carries on!
Then what about that Gavet or whatever his name is? He went down in a tackle held his back then rolled over on his back for a Hollywood Oscar as if he’s been poleaxed!
The ref stops the game again!
Why are the refs being sucked in with these trivial knocks & all the play acting to get the game stopped?
I very nearly walked out of the game at this point I was so fed up!
Are coaches telling players to do this
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
