After watching the games last night to be honest I am not sure that Manly will be able to adapt to the new style of the game, and to be honest I am not sure I want them too.
The game as it is with the two refs and the ridiculous amount of penalties has lost part of it's entertainment factor, for the first time ever I found myself falling asleep and preferring to go to bed rather than watch the footy, which is not something I have ever done in the past.
I would prefer a slightly slower ruck than 16 penalties per game. The refs seem like they more and more want to get themselves on TV and that tey think the game is about them and not about the players.
Not only that it seems they can't even get it right anyway. I hate the Storm but that try that the Broncos were allowed off one of the most blatant knock-ons around the ruck I have ever seen and they didnt go to the video.
Honestly the way the NRL are taking this game is simply to ****. They cant get anything right, they cant police it right, they cant ref it right and they cant bloody well sell it to the media properly.
pfffft
