I think it definitely gives a huge advantage to teams getting a roll-on in attack, although I'm not sure how long it'll take for that to be mitigated by the defending team. At the moment it's leading to 13 or 15 tackle sets (since you tend to get a second penalty from the panicking defenders) which in the NRL will inevitably get you to the other try line, and likely a play or two against goal-line defence (probably retreating).

I definitely felt Brisbane and Melbourne got flustered as gently caress by the pace and their opponents got an unstoppable roll on because of it, but in most of the games it didn't feel as overwhelming. Manly were too good for the Bulldogs which was hardly a surprise, while the Sharks were more putting on a comedy skit than playing ''Rugbah League"' per se.

I tipped the Broncos, and given the chance to change it even knowing the result, would tip them again. I tip fully under the knowledge that I’m extremely biased, and I’d rather lose because of it than compromise and be correct.

Only positive to come out of tonight is if we beat the Dragons and become the first team to sack the coach this year.

The entire Bulldogs squad is banned from training because some idiot let Terry Lamb attend training and he was filmed shaking players' hands. He isn't one of their 50 cleared people, either.

Also Jesus Broncos. I know tpj, fifita and Glenn will make a big difference but there was no leadership last night. Good opening set immediately undone by a stupid penalty and a repeat set of 6 followed by a turnover and that was it. Only bright spots on the team are Haas, Croft and Carrigan at the moment.

I think with the new six to go rule + no crowds there are gonna be some beltings this year. Even good teams might cop a thrashing or two this year if the momentum really goes against them in a game

I expect big things from Munster in the current rule set. Didn't get it last week. Wonder if that'll change this week.

Jahrome Hughes broke his hand and is out for a few weeks Also 6 players failed their temperature checks for the Sharks but from the news I've heard passed their second check so all good.

I did not think it went backwards - and trust me I'm begging for Manly to win here, the Parra fans are loving insufferable. And it hosed my footytab.

To me it looked backwards out of the hands but inertia from the sudden stop of the passing player made it float forward more than usual. So still a legal pass imo. Oh well.

Smorgasbord posted:Clearly backwards out of the hands which is all that's supposed to matter. Exactly. The pass was definitely backwards from the hands, and then floated forward from momentum. You could see his hands easily throw it back, the touch judge just wanted to be a hero when he saw the float.

Annersly said it was the wrong call. So I'll bow to that. But Dessy is amazingly calm in the post game conference. I suspect he is a pod person. He did pick out that the six again call was inconsistent.
