I've never heard of these new rules 🙄
CLUBS STUNG BY NRL’S SHOT-CLOCK WHIP
THE NRL’s determination to speed up the game this year has been a profitable move.
So far six goalkickers have been fined for taking longer than one minute and 40 seconds to take their shot at goal for a total of $12,000.
Storm’s Cameron Smith, Cronulla’s Shaun Johnson, Parramatta’s Mitchell Moses, the Broncos’ Jamayne Isaako, Canberra’s Jarrod Croker and the Bulldogs’ Rhyse Martin have cost their clubs $2000.
The Penrith Panthers have also been slugged $5000 for having former halfback and trainer Peter Wallace on the field after the fourth tackle.
All teams received warning letters after the opening round of the season about goalkickers wasting time.
Fewer penalties and quicker decisions from the Bunker have already improved the spectacle but head of football Graham Annesley is determined to ensure the kickers fall into line.
