Simpson and other players with that reputation will be umpired more harshly but it isn't necessarily a deliberate thing, more a form of psychological priming.Because the way the point that I called out as ridiculous was framed that Simpkin was going to be “umpired more harshly” because of the umpires knowing how he likes to play in regard to taking the tackler on etc.
You are arguing with me about the same point I was originally making that they are just being umpired based off what they are doing in that moment and not any pre-conceived notions.
