Six again is a great way to help the favoured teams of the NRL. Great way to steer the game to a preconceived direction nothing is out of the question for the almighty dollar.
Qld received nine straight penalties during the game you're crying about ..the ref saved them from a sixty point thrashing and NSW will have to overcome the refs being on Qld for game 3
The modern day of Rugby League is ruined. It’s getting away from what the game is all about … THE GAME let’s get back to basics, it was more entertaining to watch and for the players. How many referees are there now ??!?!? And I mean now in the bunker. The game is over controlled. But one rule that can be helped out by down stairs is the off side passing in attack. How many times do we see it get getting away with, resulting in a 4 pointer. But that’s another argument ……
@@DBASSDAN mate I watched the first S . O . O when Ron Casey called the game for channel 9 and I followed the Berries haaa to send two blokes to the sin bin for rubbing someone's head I have lost a lot of interest in the game . Look at all the time money and effort penrith has put into that team now it's just torn apart . You can't blame the players when a team throws millions at them .
@@gordo191 I'm hearing you mate, I'm an old Berries/ Bulldogs fan. The younger generation doesn't seem to understand, if there are changes in the next 20 years like there has been in the last 20 years, we will be watching touch footy.
No more than a single freaking repeat in any given set! Force them to kick for goal or kick for touch and allow for it to be challanged by the captain. This is making it so easy to fix a match for the bookies.
Sin bin is a joke, 6 again rubbish, Captains challenge stupid, obstruction rulings useless, and bunker hopeless. It all went to the pack when they banned the shoulder. Gus has my vote as ceo of nrl.
I don’t see any consistency with the 6 agains, especially as far as slowing down the ruck. It’s like the ref is just calling it whenever he feels like it. Get rid of it imo.
When Im now watching the game, Im actually wondering why there is a ref out on the field, with the challenges that each side has, the percentage of challenges that are successful amazes me, it also appears that 90% of the tries are now given as No Try and sent to the Bunker, which just delays the game, the NRL need to clear the game up and take all the fuzzy BS out of it. The 6 again rule is crazy, if the ref cant control the game then he shouldnt be on the field, it I was a betting man or took bides, 6 again rule could be really useful.
The origin Martin tackle, Cotter twisted in the tackle and landed on his arm, Cotter's head never hit the ground, he then went off for a HIA so the toads got a free interchange.
The HIA was a bs late call because he cracked his head into Grant’s, Literally on the previous set. Neither were sent off for that head clash when it happened.
And have a heap of interchanges so some players only play 20 minutes then go and have a smoke and a cup of coffee before coming back at the arse end when everyone else is buggered.
Handing them out like m&m’s to NSW for the first 30min of Origin 2 🤣 Brought the 6 again in to stop the wrestling and crowding in the tackles yet Penthrith get away with it continuously! 🤷🏾♂️
And too many Tigers players getting binned, put on report, sent off and getting way too many weeks suspension while Jordan Rapana is somehow still getting away with being the biggest grub of all time The Dogs are the new Storm, they get away with murder at the ruck.
Gus expressing credible concerns of ordinary audiences after witness every blunder by the Bunker and Referee with these incessant rules changes and the NRL keeps making mockery out of the paying audiences. Ridiculous!
Its because we're accommodating for the Pansy Generation. My teenage kids aren't so sensitive but i know for a fact they couldn't handle the workforce i came through.
.Clowns running the circus I saw one Team get 3x6 end in a try! ( SOS) State of Origin 🤣The Original game was 6 for one side then 6 for the other fair and square! It is quite possible to receive 18 then other side drops the ball and receive another 18 this is burning one side and creating a bad corrupt spectator sport.
Annesly needs to step down immediately he initially said the the rts one was incorrect then changed his mind then this with api he said the refs got it wrong. No wonder the game is breaking down quickly becusse of annesly whose supposed to set an example for the refs and when u look at the curent state of rugby the nrl it makes sense. Not to mention the corporate idiots vlandys and abdo designing crap rules that refs themselves cant come together on. I remember that line from the remember the titans attitude reflects leadership captain
I like the 6 agains. As matty johns says. If you dont want a 6 again, get your team onside and stop wrestling in the ruck. If we dont believe offside should be a rule and wrestling in the ruck should be allowed. Then make them legal. Dont get butthurt about the rule designed to fix nonsense.

You need the bunker or some more a review system, for when ashley Klein claimed Cam Murray lost the ball in the play the ball right in striking distance, and the reply on the big screen proved he didn't. When the ref's get such bad calls like that wrong you shouldn't even need a referral, just watch the replay once and admit you got it wrong and play on
Depends on the nature of the foul, they were only brought in for obvious ruck interference so why do so many players still keep doing it. The rule shouldn't be changed, if you're team is fatigued and not in position then don't hold up the play. It is fair.
the game has sped up with the 6 again rule, which ultimately puts more stress on players. which decreases players careers. This year we have had alot of our stars with Hamstring injuries/ non contact injuries. which clearly shows the stress the players are on. They have added extra rounds and sped the game up. If the game values their product they will consider the well being of the player. Yes there is an entertainment standard, but there is no entertainment if our stars are out injured due to non contact injuries.
Isn't a six again a penalty. What I've noticed are alot of six agains given in the oppostions 20 right on the try line. Anywhere else on the field it's a penalty.
The game is gooooone The day players started painting their fingernails and putting mascara on in the sheds before running out That’s when the game went woke
James is so irrelevant he just looks around at whoever’s talking he’s is so clueless he knows nothing about footy and just nods every now and again to make it look like he’s paying attention and not to mention he flexes his jawline the whole show he flexes his jawline harder than a hippie on ecstasy at a festival
I often yell at the tv saying get up when a player from my team is staying on too long. next thing a 6 again is given. Sure they can work it out and usually they do it because the team needs to catch their breath or get defensive line set
What a debacle. Casey badger is so bad. Sin binned RTS and now the after math of her stupid decision. I understand inclusion and equality etc but this isn’t the stage for it. Let her go ref kids after school footy or something for inclusion.
It is a nonsense rule. I'd rather see a straight out penalty as you can make more ground by kicking for touch for that extra 15-20 yards from the spot of the penalty, then proceed with a tap kick.
The game doesn’t react to the right things. Only thing that’s really need to come in is how seriously they take foul play, head contact etc. Obstructions, six agains, disruptors, blockers. They were never a problem in the first place and the rules were changed for no reason. Captains challenge I personally believe is the worst rule ever introduced. The benefit rugby league has over a lot of other sports, union, AFL etc is that it is a very simple game in theory, but we have done our best to over complicate things and add rules in which have taken away from the spectacle, not added to it.
I'm done with six again the bunker players not honouring their contracts and S O O going on for so long and interfering in the competition. Play it every 2nd week
i think there needs to be communication between the bunker and ref, not the bunker over ruling the ref. that way the bunker can give his/ her 2 cents but at the end of the day still the refs call.
Gus' comments suggest allowing defenses to not be onside, wheres the upside to the attacking team? Cant fwd pass so why allow a quicker defence. But on the whole I do agree there needs to be a solution. When the rule was introduced half the offsides happened off camera and you can even see why its being ruled
I think Gus’ point is that they need to stop nit picking. Grinding football is what makes the game what it is. Being all over a team but then having that pressure released because you were half a meter off side is ridiculous. That’s his point in a nutshell.
@@jonahanthony1162 yeah agree with that. I guess my comments is more around him implying put the whistle away. If theres less nitpicking in rushing defense and ruck based infringements then it just opens up the question of how do you prevent them bending the rules. I guess it comes down to how the ref communicates what he is seeing and what he will penalise if its continued. (Which I do see happen from time to time but maybe it needs to be regular)
Yeah - my pet peeve is that the broadcast never ever shows if someone actually was offside or not. Seems they are very arbitrary penalties rather than given for any reason. What’s the point of working on a defensive structure, just to have a referee decide you have to defend for 4 sets because you laid in a ruck for a split second too long. Punishment doesn’t fit the crime to be honest. A crazy idea for me, is to give teams an option when awarded a penalty - 1. Restart tackle count, but no kick for touch. 2. Kick for touch but tackle count remains the same. Get some grind back in the game.
The six again rule is one of the worst rules that they have brought into RL. It gives the attacking team a advantage that is unfair. It is ruening the game. These are professional players and six tackles is enough time to get themselves in a good position.
It’s meant to be league Contact sport U sit on your couch and suck Coca Cola chubber chumps and play your barbie play station asking mummy for cookies n milk ffs
