Have just finished watching this game. Some really disturbing actions from the Blacktown players and crowd. I think it may be due to the unfortunate rise of that horrible run it straight game that is becoming popular, and some of the league influence in the area. Had to feel bad for Blacktown captain at times, no matter how many times he had to go back and tell his guys to be better disciplined, he couldn’t keep them in line. I hope subbies does enough to keep those players out of the game, but a lot of the onus should be on Blacktown as a club to better select and control their players/coachesOne of the dirtiest games i've ever seen blacktown v beecroft. Blacktown had 2 reds and 3 yellows all for foul play. Punches, eye gouges, elbows, swearing at the ref, bumping the ref, late hits, refusing to leave the feild after getting sent off. The blacktown coach had to be removed from the ground. The ref threatened to call the game on multiple occasions but ultimately allowed it to play out. The club has already had multiple reds this season. I expect there will be punishments handed down as a result from this game and a long meeting with subbies.
