Even the tackles are a grey area. Some tackles have players holding the tackled player down so their defensive line can get set and it doesn't get penalised. Other tackles the same thing does. Where is the consistency that viewers demand? The NRL can make any rule they like in the interests of the the game, but you can't make rules that have so many grey areas as that lends itself to lack of accountability.
Gives them the ability to push any team they want without really any explanation. Watch any bulldogs game and you will see this in full effect lol.
Though Coryn I would argue the sport, like any, is always entertainment. You go to watch a park footy match, you are watching it for entertainment, it wasn't entertaining you wouldn't watch it.
We watch tennis as it's entertaining. Cricket the same. All sports are that. Yeah rules change to make it more entertaining but it is always entertainment.
The NRL's obsession with high scoring games being more entertaining is a complete myth. Many of these such games are not good spectacles at all. Many of the most entertaining games in recent seasons are not the high scoring affairs at all.
Well yeah, look at Manly v Canberra just then, amazing game it was close.
Last year Penrith v Dogs was like 8-6 and was one of the best games in years.
You definitely like to see teams earn their yards and wrestle points. Not just be marched up the field with 6 more every set. Needs to be a balance
When you lose by 50, you can't blame the refs for losing. However the refereeing was diabolical and should still be scrutinised. Chris Butler in particular needs to be held to account for his performance. 1st of all the knock on call that we challenged. Complete and utter incompetence at best. And secondly the Iongi head high not getting penalised. There's absolutely no excuse for the bunker to get those 2 calls so fundamentally wrong
Problem is while not changing the overall result in terms of win or lose, the terrible decisions often happen at crucial times, completely changing the momentum during that smaller period of the game. So often, just when a team is fighting their way back into the set for set arm wrestle, a diabolical decision just bursts the bubble.
That's nothing new though right I mean sticky was saying his team made 60 odd tackles before his team saw the ball and still came back and won.It feels like you could go to almost any contest any week and pick apart these wild inconsistencies within the bunker especially.IMO they need to empower the refs more and depower the bunker's decision making.Referees will get decisions wrong they will but I'd prefer that than a multi million dollar multi camera mess and still there getting it wrong alot of the time.I've never been a fan of the bunker and the game isn't played at 20 frames a second.
The thing I have found interesting was when I did some digging on Kearney. It was brought up how Ryles is now Kearney, I came to see in 42 games as coach we only conceded 50 once under him.
in 25 games with Ryles 3 times. But also 6 again rule has made it that there are more higher scores. Thats how this rule has changed the game in that you look at more teams putting 50 on due to momentum being created purely from referee discretion not from skills of the attacking team.
Do we still lose on Thursday if 6 again wasn't a thing? Absolutely. Do we have 52 put on us? Not so sure.
