What would Luke Hodge or Jordan lewis have done? They would have crunched smith face on and set the tone for the match. Hell even Birchall wouldve made Smith earn it. Make a big contest there, smaller guy going hard against the opposition ruckman and you get the rest of the boys up and about. Do it consistently and that is how culture is developed.
What odds that incident wouldnt have even been highlighted post game by the coaches in their one on one debriefs with the players? I say that with confidence bc this type of incident happened every week.
