those two things can be the case.

And the tribunal should have been able to say, you know what, we actually believe both of you.

But that doesn't get us to a point of understanding and being confident enough to uphold a charge.

I think ideally...

what we should say is good dialogue between players and umpires.

I think that ultimately helps the relationship.

They're operating every week.

They're out on the field.

There's a lot going on.

There's a lot of noise.

There's a lot of decisions.

There's a lot of emotion and energy.

And I think if that can be humanized and there can be dialogue between players and umpires, that's a really good thing.

And certainly our view is, you know, put the tribunal decision to one side, shouldn't have got there.

It should have been dealt with in the aftermath of the game, whether that's straight after or in the next day.

It just should have been navigated.

The interested parties should have come together.

Oh, well, that, I mean...

Whether he can't speak to him on game day, there's ways and means to get around those things.
