The ‘square up’ rule Klein - and other referees - like so much is ridiculous. Saw it in action when he binned two dolphins players to match the two roosters who were binned for starting the melee last time we played them who didn’t deserve to go.

Having said all that, I am sick to death of the growing proliferation of dickhead style plays where someone drops the ball or gives away a penalty and a conglomeration of opponents run to get on his face and mouth off about it. A quick word or two I don’t mind but getting right in someone’s grill is asking for trouble

Agree. I think clamping down on this sort of behaviour would pay dividends. Another one is players being caught on the last tackle, and refusing to hand over the ball. They should told to release the ball, and if they don't a few penalties would soon sort them out.
