One example that comes to mind for me straight away was just on the weekend with that.
And I'm the first to admit that sometimes I think we're overly critical of our officials and referees involved in the sport.
And I've been guilty of it in the past too.
And I always try and be careful.
But one thing that popped up on the weekend was that Reese Walsh goal kick, that bizarre situation against the Knights where both touch judges,
thought the ball had gone under the crossbar.
It was a howler.
It was a terrible area.
But are the commentators supposed to sit there and not highlight that and not criticize that during the game?
Because the beauty, Danny, and you've got far more experience in TV than I do, is the beauty of live television is that you want people to give their instant and authentic reactions.
And as soon as you're second-guessing yourself about what you're going to say because, oh, I'm worried about getting in trouble or about being too negative, what do television executives think about that?
Right.
They're not getting the best product.
I think isn't that part of just an open democracy?
If you question and critique things, doesn't that provide a better product?
It ends up in a better product?
They've reminded coaches in the last year or two about undue criticism of referees in post-match press conferences.
So they've slowly been working towards that.
But, you know.
Things like the six again, and we've spoken about it on this podcast a number of times this year.
