:D Wasn't it fantastic to see in round one the cronullA sharks and the canberra Raiders reinstill the nrl's integrity around fisticuffs in contact sports. It was fantastic to see two players going at it toe to toe in the heat of battle!!! =D>
Fortunately the nrl are not so harsh on penalising it ie they understand that a contact sport naturally raises physical tension and that referees can't always catch the squirrel grippers out there and thus it is only fair that players take the law into their own two fists from time to time. It's just wonderful and in comparison to the knocks received on the field during normal play, a minuscule <1 percentage of players have been harmed from snotting each other. The crowds love it, as do AFL and sooker crowds but their players have been severely de masculated by the governing bodies.
So again, bravo to those cronullA and canberra chaps who really put on a jolly good show yest! No one was hurt, the right thing was done and millions have been entertained! Jolly good, jolly good stuff!! =D> =D> <>' :D <>' =D> =D>
