Andrew Johns Vs NRL

So Andrew Johns has been let off by the NRL Judiciary with a two week suspension for abusing a match official. The match officials did miss a knock-on but in the speed of the match and the angle of vision that is understandable. Refs make the calls they make based on what they see - and sometimes they can't see it all.

Andrew Johns should have more respect for referees. After all, if they did their nut at players who made a mistake at a critical moment in a match I could understand Johns giving it back. But they don't - and then they had to take his abuse.

And Johns should have more respect for his fans. When I heard that he threatened to leave the NRL if the punishment was too strong, my gut reation was he should be kicked out of the competition as that's what he clearly wants.
