A div 1 coach got a 2 week ban plus fine for telling the ref what he thought of his performance at the end of the game a few weeks ago, I bet that it wasnt a constant barrage like Braithwaite would've be doing & a div 1 player got a 5 game (2 suspended) ban for a couple of nasty comments to a linesman, should be the same rules for everyone regardless of club, grade etc.
Agree with allwhites82 about the ref standards, if Mainland are trying to improve the playing quality then they have to keep the refs inline with that aswell.
