Yes, I wonder what would be the outcome if a referee warned a Jags player about no more "back chat" and the latter responded with: "I don't care!"
Anyway, the game as a whole is fixed, as much as possible (for those in power`), at all levels (maybe not always, to avoid obvious and justified suspicion) so that an erse-cheek (which one decided on by the various media and internal consultations) will win whichever competition is involved.
Any occasional "blips" are permitted to reinforce the illusion that everything is legitimate.
The system is rotten. To the core. And people involved in the core know it.
