From the media conference:
Journalist: Do you think in this game - not particularly your team - that the referees are tending to watch one team, who they expect to win, and they sort of get the rub of the green?
Smith: (Laughs) I reckon Braith's pretty toey about that question!
Anasta: I love the question! I don't even need to answer it!
Smith: Well, I'll just say that I worry about what they're actually doing. I reckon, if you actually got the Eagle Cam, and you watched one of the referees tonight, I reckon when he's pocket referee, he could not give a toss about what's going on. He's just waiting... it's a bit like some players... defence is that time they spend while they're waiting to get the ball back. That's all he was worried about - getting back to being the main man at 10 metres.
(Smith also made a comment about the lopsided penalty count. He seemed to imply that it was very unusual for the team that was clearly dominant in the ruck to be on the wrong end of the penalty count.)
