Absolutely. And when you add in the fact that in the NRL there seems to be a tacit agreement between refs and players that they will play to the spirit of the game, and not milk penalties for players lying in the ruck, it makes for a much better spectacle. I don't want to see that, any more than I want to see teams keeping the ball in the scrum hoping to get a cheap penalty.
