I was thinking just that. All the good work has been undone. Now all the commentary is focused on who is sin binned. Going back 4-5 tackles to penalise for some minor contact. 13 on 11 has crippled the spectacle completely. All the wonderful work that sped the game up and made it a game we've been crying out for, for years. Then they ruin their own product. I get they don't want head contact but talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Just dumb.
To be honest, we need someone full time in that role. We can't have him going off fighting the ABC over defamation cases for Racing NSW when his head should be in the NRL. What's Abdo doing anyway? V'Landys butler?
"Thanks, Bluey. You're onto something. Refs are having a huge say. Most points are off the back of a combination of either errors, penalties or restarts.
Restarts are getting out of hand and so inconsistent it isn't funny anymore. They've doubled…"
"Coryn, well said. After the Panthers strangled the Sharks, I loved what Brian To'o said post-game: “Hard work beats talent.” Hard yakka.
It was also interesting what Nathan Cleary said in an interview about last year’s finals loss to the Broncos…"
"A great view on how we did it, HOE.
I'm wondering if we are forgetting the 27th person on the field, the referee. I'm watching a different game this year, where it feels referees are playing a huge part in the games. I can't get over the feeling…"

Make that 7-1 and 5 reported players. Ennis is a dickhead by the way.
It's a joke Mick. In the real world both of those incidents only warranted a penalty.

Nah! its cutting the head off to preserve the neck, just need to add a big pickling jar.
What do you call this kinda soup Slugg?

It's Shane Hayne out there. Shades of Parra vs Cronulla in 2003. We'll I hope the NRL are happy. They made this farce.
And the commentators are praising Manly like they are world beaters who are beating a full strength top two squad with a full complement on the field.
The NRL has become an absolute joke and V'Landys is to blame. He is the worst thing to happen to the game since the Super League war.
They'll fancy themselves next week against an under strength Parra side.
Let's hope we don't under estimate them like we did in round 11 last year.
