Exactly!
Entitled NRL players trying to stand over Kasey Badger are in for a rude shock
Fining players is an utter waste of time.
The first time abuse happens the player gets a sin-bin. The next player on that team that abuses an official gets sent off. Three week suspension minimum with option of increasing that for repeat offenders.
It will virtually disappear in a week or two.

Spot on.
NRL Round 9 Talking Points: Abuse of Kasey Badger is way out of line - on and off the field
I disagree that the CC “encourages disrespect of the ref, arguing and recalcitrance”. A captain can (should!) calmly go up to the ref and ask for a CC. Nobody else should be involved with the ref.
Something else – refs talk too much, and are far too familiar with the players. I suspect this has also contributed to the abuse coming from the players.

The umpire abuse (at least from the players) should be easy to solve.
An email goes out to all clubs today saying ANY dissent will be punished with a penalty (and sin-binning for the second offense on the team, and a send-off if it happens a third time). The captain is allowed to question (calmly) the referee. Nobody else.
I guarantee it will disappear in a single round.

And then there’s the question of whether he wants to move away from SEQ…
The question Bennett needs to address before deciding if he wants to return to Rabbitohs
Briefly… 😂
Bumbling Bunnies board, players, executives and Demetriou all deserve share of blame game after coach's demise
He’s a sugar fix.

I’m surprised at the continued fascinating recruiting Bennett by any club that under-performs. He hasn’t won a premiership for a long, long time, and he coaches for short-term results, not long-term benefit.

I’m referring to my comments, not yours.
Forget those bringing down the game, what if we embraced the A-League and Australian football cups are actually half-full?
My point is based on facts too.

Greene is lucky to have only gotten a week.
And I’m flabbergasted that Hogan got off. What the Tribunal is now saying is that you can punch someone in the face and not get punished, as long as it’s not too hard. Just astonishing.

After the Suns belting on the weekend, you’d think he’d have other things on his mind than worrying about Toby Greene…
AFL News: 'Shame for our game' - legend unloads on Greene ban, 'world's gone mad' as skinfold tests punted
Riewoldt must have been look at some other footage. Greene clearly jumps in the air, doesn’t go for the football and has time to brace for impact – which was to the head of the opposing player. Lucky to only get one week in my view.
And how dare the AFL do everything it can to protect itself against future lawsuits [sarcasm alert for the slow learners]. Riewoldt really isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, is he…

The suggested way forward is a nonsense and will not solve the problems outlined. Given votes to the states will simply continue the status quo.
There should be a skills matrix put in place for the Board – financial management, marketing, governance, etc. Board members should be installed to match the skills matrix. That’s the critical thing – not which entity gets a nomination.

And how do you know they were all paying spectators?
It's time the APL came clean on the state of the game in the A-Leagues
“their largest-ever home attendance of 7723 fans at Campbelltown Stadium“
When a crowd this small is the “largest ever” is part of the problem.

At what point does Lomax start to think he’s made the wrong decision?

It’s actually declining.

And this won’t be the only game this season which doesn’t make sense…
Footy Fix: The Saints were ten times as rubbish as the Dogs were last week - and it's worth working out why
I dunno, I think every now and again teams have shocking games for no apparent reason. It’s nigh on impossible to play to your full potential every single round, even if you’re a good team. And let’s face it – neither of these teams are good. I don’t think either coach will be spending too much time analyzing that game…

Kinda sums up the A League really… 😂
Does the A-League have the clout to make a UK-bound event round work in season 2024/25?
April Fool’s Day was a few weeks ago.

I said at the time the APL would be a disaster. It hasn’t taken long for me to be proven right.
And sadly I think you’re spot on with your ‘can we start again?’ question. Sometimes you need to go backwards before you can move forward. But I agree with you that I can’t see it happening. That would require too many parties to admit they’re wrong and not up to the job.
So we continue with mediocrity…

Yep, good point.
