Far out, Siggy with only 2 yellows for the season.  I'm genuinely shocked.  Go Siggy

I think one of the least mentioned but most significant impacts Ernie has had has been on on field professionalism (discipline). He made an interesting comment when Manny clocked up 5 yellows - to the effect that he'd got away with poor discipline in the past and clearly implying it (poor discipline) wasn't acceptable to him.

I think a fair bit of Lia's improvement (I never thought I'd be saying that) is that he now focuses on the value of possession of the ball and not trying to be some sort of "mid-field destroyer" giving away dopey fouls.

As an aside I think Brockie's game would benefit from a similar focus i.e. less whining to the ref at every call and worrying about twitter and hair cuts - the later 2 probably reflect my age.
