The game is too helta skelta now. I don't mind a fast game but all these new rules are slowly losing me as a fan

 

[BOZO]

Man oh man
speed is killing easts
shows what you have been saying all season @BOZO speed is the new major weapon in the nrl.
shows tonight how far off we are.
bailey sirro is playing strong would love to see him with us next year

Speed has always been a weapon of mass destruction .
Bailey Sirro looks like a handy player

Corey Allen has done a terrific job taking over from ‘Trell. Klein as usual, useless.

Souths getting done dry by the bunker.

Which generally wouldn't worry me, but the Roosters need zero more advantages either.

If I wanted to watch touch footy I’d head down the local park. I’ve hated the rule change since day one.

True but they have had plenty of 6 again leg ups that have impacted the roosters more. It’s a tough game for the nrl to officiate when they need to fav our both teams!

Let’s see how many leg ups Sutton and Klein can give the Rorters in the 2nd half.

Or the athletic field just to unbalanced now.

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but why is SBW allowed to have his own sponsor, different to the rest of the team, on the back of his Jersey?

For mine, the rule (6 again) was brought in when it was for one reason and one reason only. At the time, there was virtually zero sport on television because everything had been shut down. The NRL saw it as a great way to showcase the game to those who normally wouldn't watch, but had next to nothing else to watch as far as sport went. The league wanted to speed up the game for nothing more than a ratings grab, especially for those overseas.

It was also a good way to keep Ch.9 onside when they were threatening things like less money.

If they play each other in the finals the roosters will win by 30.

Most said that tonight
They will compete better, as will change the defensive pattern...Roosters are nowhere near where they were 2018/19

Because he’s SBW and plays for Easts. And he and them will do whatever the f$&@ they want and you and I and anybody else won’t question it.

 

[maxta]

Extra space and speed

Kind of Bozo - depth allows the player to RUN onto the ball, not catch flat footed and go...

 

[ricardo]

How many tries will the bunnies be robbed of lol

If DCE ran out on Sunday with different sponsors on his jumper to the other 16 Manly players, the media would be all over it and the NRL would be questioning things like extra TPA's.

Thank God Greenturd isn't still in office. He'd be leading the charge to have Manly expelled from the competition for life if that happened.

Yep whatever reason it is I’ve never liked it. In saying that I also don’t like how RL has lost the different shapes of players like was around in the 80s and 90s. Players are just athletic robotic behemoths now. Perhaps the changes will go some way to remove that and get the smaller players back into the game.

 

[double hoops]

If they scrap the 6 again rule before the start of the year MAN will then be ****ed in 2021 with a light weight team

 

[fLIP]

I hope sbw take the % cut in income given he doesnt accept gambling money in his wage.

 

[HoldenV8]

I think Walker's try there was a bit of payback for the two legit tries taken off them. Walker was at least a metre offside there lol
