  As an example go on Kayo and compare the following sets:

  First half - 31 mins to go in half. Melbourne have the ball.

  Second half - 20 mins to go in half. We have the ball.

  Both making metres. Both wrestling in the ruck, hands on ball etc. Look at munster at the end of our set. Ref just ignored it. Why?

    Because the NRL control the outcome of selected games through the referees and Bunker. It's fairly obvious

      Yep they certainly "could" control outcomes using 6 agains and even just speeding up and down the ruck using verbal commands. There is one thing all humans eventually suffer - fatigue. All nrl teams are capable of taking advantage of it.

      Make no mistake it is not just parra games either. There was a very sus game between manly and canberra last year in round 3.

  Never been a fan of the six again rule . It can totally change the momentum and outcomes of games. We copped a heap early on Thursday night and our forwards certainly seemed puffed. Althought that wasn't the reason we lost the game it certainly didn't help.

  It gives the refs to chnage the momentum of the game and put on fatigue to a team that they don"t like say . . . Parra.

  With the way the Hopgood charge been made, it just shows the corruption and unfairness to other teams.

  The six again rule should just be taken out of the game, It has been controversial, frustrating and  has not improved the game at all. No one in the viewing audience has no idea whats going on
