“Sometimes I think the difference between a yellow and a red card is open to interpretation, but I think the dangerous thing about it is, the players and physios are aware of it, deciding when to stay on the ground.
“It’s probably crept into some of our play too, which I don’t like but if that’s the way we are going to police the game then that’s the danger.
“We’ve got to be better, Brad’s got to be better technique wise, and when we are down to 12-men we have got to handle that scenario better as well, especially when we are back in front.
