Not as many as he should have.
Let me put it this way: you know how it is when you work somewhere new, and you see a policy or procedure that could be fixed, but you meet so much opposition because "that's the way we do things around here"?
You can sit down with them and show them the logic, draw the charts, and even paint pretty pictures for them, but they won't budge. They're indoctrinated into "the way it is" and don't want to change because its too much effort.
Refs are the same. They've come into a field where they are told to ref a certain way and get spanked if they don't, tossed out of the top tier.
You see? No?
OK try this way - you know how every time McCaw gets a yellow card (again, as with Hansen's losses: not as many as he should have), and you, as an AB fan, get the urge to lose your shit like a rabid baboon packing an AK (Andrew Kellaway)-47, struggling against the primal urge you have to say "B-b-but he ALWAYS does that at ruck time!"
That's because you've been indoctrinated, brainwashed if you will, into believing that he always will do that at ruck time and get away with it.
Now, I'm not saying for a moment that the ABs haven't been a great team for the last few years - particularly this batch featuring some who will be remembered as legends.
But there is only so far down the hole you can go on "we're dominant, so we get the rub of the green" before it turns into utter bullshit. Its a vicious cycle: you're being dominant because you're getting away with it.
tough day huh P?? One of the best rants I have seen for quite some time!!
I'm sorry PFitzy, but you seem to have lost it today mate, I always tend to read your comments with some joy, but you seem to have just decided to see how much absolute shit you can post in one day!! So far you have complained that you hate Hansen and all AB coaches before him, Hansen hasn't shown any improvement in AB team,(and the thing that stings you is they keep winning), and now that kiwis have benn brainwased to accept that Richie is allowed to cheat, draw a deep breath mate, and just be glad we don't think all Aus posters are as stupid!!Not as many as he should have.
