Gus goes NUCLEAR over Koroisau no-try and kick-off changes | Wide World of Sports 

2 weeks in a row the Tigers have been screwed by the refs, not saying we would have won.

Have to agree with Gus. I definitely don't a lot but recently he makes more sense than most.

3:42 love you Gus 😂

Without Gus in the commentary, I'd probably won't watch this show but, somehow he's very exciting to watch and always looking forward at his opinions lol

If the powers that be keep changing rules everytime someone gets hert no game left ,there will be a rebel leauge !!! And they can have there touch football.

It's a game for men, first hitup is a test for a men.

Gus is right

The biggest problem with the game is the ref in the stands calling ruck infringement with absolutely no scrutiny. It is called 2 or 3 passes later and if you rewind there is no infringement. I cant believe this issue gets absolutely no media attention. The game is open to manipulation and it lacks integrity.

Gus should be an NRL mascot. Or an anti-bunker campaigner.

I’ve slowly accepted all the other rule changes but if they take kick offs out of the game then I am done. I would not hesitate to never watch again.

Let the game run like before... that's real football.❤

When was the last time there wasn’t a rule change from one season to the next???

Feed em Gus

This is crazy. It’s a contact sport. How can you take away one of the best parts of the game

Gus got in one package..our game is stupid..😂😂

So glad I only have to watch Nine for 4 games a year

It’s not the real fans that want these changes. It’s the part-time fans.

If they get rid of the kick off, I won’t watch

The NRL are “stupid” for issuing a breach notice. Bringing the game into disrepute? How “stupid” is that interpretation!!!

The team that puts the dropout out on the full has to hand over the ball and dedend a set of six on their own 10m line. Thats much worse than 7 tackles from the opposition 20.

Bulldogs getting sued is just the beginning. Every ex player with cte will end up suing the nrl and the game will be gone.

If the NRL is concerned about potential concussion on kick offs then they need to be just as concerned over the impact of big collisions with sides 10 metres apart, surely the impact was less woth sides 5 metres apart.

You are spot on Gus. 😂😂😂

Best episode of Old Man Yelling at Television ... ever!

amen gus

Paul and guz are real.. our game will end up like basketball and netball!!.no disrespectful to both sports but it's ending up no contact..why don't they listen to the legends instead of clowns.

good on you Gus

Hard to figure out where Gus sits on the Api try.

Gus is right on the money 💯💯💯 Why not put actual players in charge to make the rules, or at least be a form of Jury who decide whether rules can be made, altered or removed.

Rarely agree with gus but goddamn him talking about the players know what they sign up for was absolutely beautiful

Thank you Gus!!!! LEGEND!!

The rule changing isn't for the Men to continue. The rule changes are designed for the women's growth. NRL is the canary game, used to tinker here & there. WNRL is their real goal, more money, more sponsorship. signed, the accountants.

Whenever Gus says "Don't get me started!" he's fuming!

The game needs to be adjusted in the light of evidence about continual head injuries. Perhaps institute a "safe catch" option restarts the game from the 20m line if the ball is caught behind the goal line. If it goes dead start from the 10m line. If dropped, play on..

Gus calls out on NRL rules is ruining the game I agree with him 💯

Can't blame Gus, he knows what the game has gone through.

Why not apply the standard general play rule whereby if the receiving team catches the ball on the full in their own in goal area then they get a 20m tap. The team kicking off will ensure this doesn’t happen by kicking shorter. Therefore shorter run up for both the ball carrier and the defence and in turn a lessened collision. Where is there a problem with that? This wind up from 50m (or more) apart is very new in the game. It didn’t happen when Gould played. A kick off landing in the in goal in those days would be allowed to bounce and roll dead leading to a 22m restart. As it is currently is actually somewhat repetitive and very predictable. You would not be adding a rule but eliminating an exception to an existing rule.

Couldn’t agree more with Gus and gal

Jwh best forwoud in the game to easy for him.champ of a player will be missed all the best champ

Gus is right. I’m at the point I don’t even care about watching my own team let alone any other NRL match! The game is killing itself and I’m just about gone. Best I might do is watch these vids occasionally

Simple solution make a rule that two players can go in for the tackle at kick off and that’s the only time this rule takes place

Yea gus

A lot of us fans on social media are against this bs as well and actually stand up for the game and the players, so berating all people on social media and acting everyone in the public is dumb, does not help your cause.

Damn. The NRL has been meddling with the rules and where has it got us? Sold out stadiums.

Well said Gus,

soon it will become a touch footy

Gus doesn't go "nuclear", infact he goes very normal and very valid 💯 !!! I said it before, one day tackling will be illegal and we'll all be watching touch football lol 🤦🤣

My thoughts for quite awhile have been no more than two defenders per tackle. With all the breaks in the game should they also look at reducing the interchange again to introduce a little more fatigue?

I have to asked this question to Gus, does he think the administrator continues to tinker with the rules and the game will be evolving to more of a touch or grab footie?

The players and coaches need to stand up to the NRL, boycott 1 week at a time till refs are held accountable and fundamental rules stop being changed for football politics.

Gus says the game is being torn apart by everyone except the coaches and players , however last week he was blaming high class coaches for influencing rule changes , for us that watch these guys and listen to them for the game we love , then i am starting to second guess these has been players

He just went full Gus on them

love Gus !!!!

All of the clubs need to put there foot down and go on strike No teams to play=no NRL

They don't tackle around the legs anymore.

Go Gus. 100% correct. Even my Victorian mates admire the first hit up of Origin. Oh, and Tigers have been robbed two tries in two weeks.

Gould and 4 officials settling into their seats, missed a blatant elbow to the head,first tackle, simple as that! Biggest thug in game walks again, JWH.

If ex players didn't sue the league then changes wouldn't have to be made. When these guys sue then rules have to change.

thats the nature of contact

Gus speaking for most if not all fans of the game. Especially the Api try, feckin’ robbed. Not even a Tigers fan.

It hurts me to say it but I agree with Gus, too many rules … the game is slowly migrating to tag

I’ve given up watching NRL this season for the first time since 1978…sick of the changes, it’s unwatchable

Dragons players fault on that one and besides Dragons did well on the other 12 kick offs they did

I totally agree with Gus...

This rules has cost tigers downfall a lot

Try and explain the game of rugby league and it’s rules to someone who has never watched it! You’ve got absolute Buckley’s!!

If they change it I'm out. Stop destroying the game

That's why I only watch highlights.😅

JWH hit Suli with a elbow and thats what knocked him out nothing to do with the kickoff

Kickoffs another story made up by reporters who never played who wont leave it alone until the nrl does something

Unfortunately if we stay with the status quo the lawyers get involved that a duty of care isn't being followed for player welfare. But come to think about it if it was an issue wouldn't they have been involved already?!

It's simple. Maximum 2 tacklers except when defending the line. * good enough to beat 2 = should be rewarded * unable to defend with 2 = should be dropped All the rules recently added to manage gang tackles, wrestling, etc become essentially irrelevant. E.g. No need for ball stripping rules, much less opportunity to slow the play-the-ball, etc.

At this rate the game is heading toward being like glorified oz tag

Yes that was a try😊

For the record, the correct decision was made. Tigers weren’t robbed of anything, the ref made the correct call according to the rules. IMO rules that need looking at again, but nonetheless it wasn’t a robbery And I’m on the fence about kickoffs. It’s something the NRL desperately has to research and brainstorm ideas with the players and fans. I’m not saying ban it, just explore other options and see if anything gets a positive reaction

Went to the Warriors last weekend. The Bunker ruined the first half and almost ruined the game. If a Ref gives three 6 again to the same team then next one should be a penalty and bin. No more than 3 in a row. There I said it!

Totally agree with Gus. That's why we love rugby league. It's a tough physical sport and it requires physically tough players to play this sport. We cannot just change the fabric of the game to accommodate players who are not physically fit to play the game. This sport is not for everyone. Just like we have boxing, wrestling and UFC, every player knows what they are signing up for and their safety on the field is their own responsibility. Let's stop this non-sense already.

What will happen to boxing if we are talking sports,

Is a pass a bobble that will b next, if ya reach out for a try th ball may separate briefly but still b in control as hand catches up an forces fairly, that was case for decades,if it aint a knock on its a damn try like it should b,gee I despise our Bunker Poms r light years ahead

Are they ganna take it out thru all he grades now? It's so stupid, the players have known the risk since the first time they hit the pitch. If anything it should be upto the players who are out there, not these ppl watching from the comfort of there couch

Leave the game alone alright HIA is already tearing my hair out …

Gus is absolutely spot on. The game is being picked apart far too much and the kick off "debate" shouldn't even be one - no way should it ever not be part of the commencement of each half - IT'S FUNDAMENTAL TO THE FORMAT OF THE GAME. And yes absolutely ridiculous the Api got that try denied - that is a try ever since the beginning of rugby league.

I can't believe I actually agree with Gus. Seeing him that peeved off is how I feel every minute of every game. They've destroyed the game with so many ridiculous rules. Bring back 80's footy I say.

I don't necessarily agree with it, but the kick off will be gone in a few years. Might as well get used to the idea.

GET RID OF THE SCRUM!

This is the last time I gonna say it's leadership regarding rules in 24 no team should be punish from head office can the stockbrokers powerbrokers players clubs refs have a summit and scale back look at 100 percent footy the rules have sent the rugby league media loopy a vote for leadership is a must

I can’t stand Gus, but I 100% agree with him. Ive been playing this game all my life and even I wonder what some of the calls are. I also use to play and Watch Rugby Union as a schoolboy. I remember explaining rules to a lot of people that had never played because it was so technical and people stopped watching for that reason. Rugby league was simple to follow. Not anymore. They are destroying the game. By the way, bring back the biff

Make them wear head gear before you go changing the game

Going to start my on league called xrl it will be based on the old school rules, start poaching secondary clubs ref makes all the calls no bunker no review just calls made on the spot Xtreme Rugby League

I've been a rugby league fan since i was a kid in the late 80s, and i can honestly say the game has gone soft. Too many rule changes.

If they get rid of the kick off its goodbye nrl simple as that

Look the game was done about 10 years ago one players don't know how to tackle anymore I think it falls on coaches over coaching players and they have been taught to tackle high we never had this problem growing up we went around the waist slid down or around the legs and nrl sides don't know how to do a back line play anymore it's scrapy not all the time but some times it looks like a under sevens game I haven't watched a game in 3 years except origin even then I get upset over coached players and stupid rules just silly and they don't know how to tackle at the elite level the game has lost its way

Check, whichever country you live in: ANNUAL DEATHS in construction and farming. R.L. should be compared to those occupations, not to people, typing on computer keyboards

100% agreed with Gus and Gal, leave the game alone, if you dont like it go and officiate another game, maybe soccer will have you...Good on you Gus and go Gal.... i used to love this game, these days i tolerate it. The game i love is no longer here. LEAVE OUR GAME ALONE.

The gold old days blocks😂 back in the day they were too slow so no one get hurt by the game and so they just beat each other up too make the game look tough😂 Put the rabitohs now against the grand finalist of back then, rabitohs will flog them.

I think Gus accidentally hit the nail on the head when he said the game is stupid. Rugby League is stupid, it’s dumb fun entertainment and they gotta stop trying to turn it into something complicated and boring.

Gus just got a 20K fine and a formal breach notice for speaking basic truth. THIS GAME IS STUPID.

go woke go broke .... PV come on is a joke

Haven’t watched a full game of footy for years because of the stupidity! The game has become to heavily influenced by do gooders unfortunately! Shame on the NRL!

Need to strip the rules of the current NRL franchise, take it back to the original format. Rugby league is a great product, just it’s currently being trashed by the biggest franchise. NRL needs to step up or step aside.
