Apparently nrlstats.com think this was Whare so I might be wrong but I thought it was Smith at the time.
Could not possibly disagree more. Early pens sets the tone, and allows for a quicker game. You let them get away with it for 10 or 15 minutes and it's a mosh pit from then on. Setting the tone.
We haven't seen a faster game we've just seen the whistle put away. Sam Perrett's after Masnour's break was possibly the worst of the game so far but didn't attract a penalty because it didn't come in that bullshit "setting the tone" period.
