The new 6 again rule to be introduced, Do you Love it or Hate it.
I'm for it, I think it will open up the footy again for the attacking players, the wrestle will decrease because of the new rule, darts from dummy half will happen more frequently, the defensive lines will be breached more often and there will be less stoppages while everyone re sets their line after a penalty is blown. I also love the idea that the referee has discretion to also award a penalty to cater for those 1 point 1 minute left on the clock scenarios, and in the end their will be less on the games penalty count that the media so love to talk up.
I can see players like Moses and Dylan brown loving it.
So what do players think Love it or Hate it. An early call hey.

I don't know if this has been brougth up before.
The 'six again' shoud be optional, at the choice of the side getting the six again.
As others here have pointed out when a winger brings the ball back after a kick, the attacking team is disadvantgaged getting an extra tackle whereas if they kicked out they would restart 40meters downfield.
The first game with 6 again , what a spectacle absolutely love it. Fantastic game, super quick, fatigue involved little men showing ball skills, minimum stoppages, and best of all the wrestle kept to a minimum . If this first game Eels 34 v Broncos 6 is any indication, six again is a big hit with me. The one ref did great, some minor issues but the game flowed, didn't notice him too much. Great game to watch.
Can’t wait to see how teams like storm handle or try counteract it.
if only it was around sooner the storm scourge but not have been as successful
