He’s correct that the players need to start making better decisions. The majority of the penalties are selfish ones. Like punches to the head or stuff after the whistle ect. That is on the player. Be smarter. Very selfish way to play.

Even if he happens to be right and it’s widely understood, he should be standing with them, and he just doesn’t seem to be. At least from my view.
