Maybe we just rolled over in the past.

I like that Darcy Gardiner ended up with a fine at least for his tough guy act against Hayward (pick on someone your own size!) - but I liked Heeney�s reaction even more.

I take your point though, we should not be encouraging violence. The acts I dislike are the unnecessary �rub it in your face� moments - particularly after a successful holding the ball tackle. All teams do it - and it just reads as bad sportsmanship.
