Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: marler
« on: January 03, 2023, 09:10:10 PM »Why should that be so? If you react you lose? If the referee hears the verbals and it’s an obvious wind up to invoke the reaction why shouldn’t the instigator suffer the same sanction as the reactor.A punch is much more obvious than some verbals. See exactly what happened in the incident we're talking about: Quins got a penalty, its only because Refs are mic'd up that Marler's words were heard and so he could be punished.

We clearly went to different schools, if I punched everyone who called my mum, sisters, brother, dog, whatever names in the face I would have a worse disciplinary rep than Marler, and an uglier mug from people returning the favour too. These are just words, people are saying them to get a reaction, if you react you lose.

« on: January 03, 2023, 05:02:29 PM »Yeah, we know he is a wind-up merchant who will say anything to try and get a reaction and so get you sent off.If anyone anywhere had called my mother that I'd have knocked them out cold, regardless of hospital or not.Really? Any random idiot could force you to punch them by spouting some nonsense?
I must point out that Marler in this context is not some random idiot.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Baxter Again!
« on: January 03, 2023, 12:08:01 PM »
Its an often remarked on phenomenon that near-bottom teams in leagues without relegation play more enterprising stuff than near-bottom teams in leagues with relegation, and its probably largely for the reasons Baxter says, there is less pressure and reduced need to target particular game with your fit players. We saw this when we made the final a few years ago - lose the pressure and the attacking rugby flows.
Re the laws, there is nothing controversial in what he is saying: that we should take time changing laws and then spend some time evaluating the changes before making more.
Both of these articles are barely news worthy but they aren't egregiously wrong.
Some of you need to read what the person is actually saying and not just use your emotional reaction to that person to judge their words

« on: January 03, 2023, 11:59:21 AM »I haven't yet heard exactly what was said, but supposedly it was a 'Your Mum' type comment. Childish and unneccessary and only caused the reaction it did because the guys Mum is unwell and in hospital back home in NZ.Might be in the minority, and Marler is a pillock, but I generally agree with this. Full audio here: https://www.rugbypass.com/news/the-full-ref-mic-audio-of-what-joe-marler-said-to-jake-heenan/
If that is the case and if Marler didn't know this then a couple of weeks on the sidelines seems fair. We can't keep on trying to steralise the game to death.
Transcript:
Jake Heenan: ‘Hey, brother, you’re better than that, hey?’
Joe Marler: ‘I’m not your brother. I’m clearly not your brother am I.’
Heenan: ‘You’re better than that mate’
Marler: ‘There’s no way I’m from the same mother as you. Your mother is a ****ing whore.
[players were audibly taken aback by comments. Heenan says something to the referee Karl Dickson about what Marler which sounds like ‘He said my mum was a whore to my face’]
Marler [again]: ‘Your mother’s a whore’
At this point the scuffle breaks out with some inaudible exchanges.
Now if Marler knew his mum was in hospital with cancer and so used the reference intentionally then I agree its despicable, but otherwise it's pretty schoolboy stuff and wouldn't normally be expected to lead to a punch up.
Dickson says he didn't hear it which is staggering given he was right next to them.

There are credits for EQP and players through the academy I believe, just to complicate the accounting.
