I assumed it was Fern rule of membership.
Also, I'm looking forward to Ngatai starring at 10 for us in Japan in 2019.

@mn5 go on about him much less than you and your anti-Ngatai-fetish, given you were the one who alerted me to half his shit peices of scribbling

I know and it triggered a lot of rage in you which is very amusing especially judging by your spelling.

Don't be ridiculous. I know I'm no where near the ultimate fan. It's a pastime at best.

Pity you won't see it as they won't be showing it in 1996-2004.

The state of both Australia and South Africa given where they were in the early 00s.
The celebratisation of referees. Referee microphones were great at first because you got a glimpse into the policing of the game, but now it is quite clear that referees are acting out for the benefit of the cameras. That goes from ones we might find entertaining (Owens) and those who are clear numptys (Barnes, Gardner).
Walsh had a reputation for having tickets on himself, but I never felt like he orchestrated contrived captains conferences and unnecessary assistant referee meetings. Much like the "we have a deal", who talks like that if the cameras aren't that?

People who manage conflict speak like that all the time. It is the best way. Gardner spoke very well to the teams. His communication was too notch.

We were taught to speak like that to captains when I reffed. It's way better than "I told you to ..." because it accepts that the game is for the players, not the ref. Would you prefer the refs didn't ask the captain's for their input?
School teachers do it to, for the same reasons. It can get a bit absurd, as in a teacher saying "We don't do that .." when everyone knows that they mean "I don't allow that ..." but it's far less confrontational, which tends to take the heat out of a situation.

Speaking of front rowers, one little annoyance is a packed stadium yelling out BEAST, every time said beast gets the ball and makes less yards carrying it than Owen Franks....

Christ that's some effort, does he run backwards?
