The Aussie win-at-all-costs mentality brings another victory! A great team effort one would have to say - that is a Team-Australia effort - which of course included more than the men in Aussie jerseys!!
Anyone who's watched the NRL knows that the referees are totally political beings. Which part of the 4 nations organisation decided that it was a good idea to have Aussie refs?! It must have been the commercial area. Keep the Aussies in the running - MONEY!!
Are the Aussie players embarrassed that they needed the referees help to remain in the competition??. No, the Aussie mentality is quite different, we all know that.
It's no different to cricket or any other sport, we used to like criticising sub-continental umpires for being biased but never noticed ours being even worse. But it helped us win, so it didn't matter - Aussie top order batsmen were never given out LBW and some of the run-out decisions were simply appalling - but all of that never gets into the record books.
In a few weeks time we might be the 4 nations champions. Are we gonna worry about the fact that we got there because the referees cheated?! I'd love to see just one Aussie player come out and say that it really was a try. The typical win-at-all-coast mentality is to simply say, it was a referees decision, we have no say in the matter.
No doubt, we will have an article by some former coach or player putting forward some typical dumb logic (as we so often get from them), to explain why it wasn't a try.
Love to see what penalty will be dished out to the ref who knowingly made an incorrect ruling to change the outcome of the game and tournament. I suspect - EL-ZIPPO!!
