Just wondering what others think. I know I'm only an old bloke but have watched the game grow and change so much over the years. But is it going to far?

The reasons is it the speed of the Athletes of today or the rule changes like the 6-agains and the dubious refereeing decisions.

Watching tonight's match Cowboys v Sharks there was 80 points scored in 80 minutes. Even the commentators made the point of saying it was ridiculous.

Personally, I am beginning to think the amount of players going to be needed on the bench if things keep going the way the NFL is headed will need to grow even more than what has transpired for this season. I'm not only talking about the Eels but all teams as I honestly think it will catch up to All teams.

I know there will be some say your only an old fart and to get with the modern game. They may well be right. But the more I'm watching games i just think it's going overboard. All this is just my humble opinion wondering what othes think

    • Start by reffing every game like they do Origin. Why does it get reffed differently?  

      (grumbles something-something fucking gambling infiltration)

  • They cut down the 6 agains but it is still to fast.  I think there will be another crack down on rolling the ball in the ruck without an attempt to play at iit with foot next to even it out.

    It will probably start today mid round with penalties against us.

  • I know we have a crack at the refs (me too), but imagine being in their shoes. Their heads would be spinning at Vlandy's constantly changing crackdown sheet every week. And then they face penalties if they affect TV schedules. 

    • Gotta keep the refs heads spinning. It makes them moire responsive to head office edicts

      • Yes Randy i know my heads spinning spinning.like the way they said let's make the bench 6 players on it . That will make everybody happy . BUt we will still only allow 4 to be used and still only 8 interchanges . But we have to remember we are making it more entertaining as it's not a game anymore 🙄🙄
