This Manly team is 1

Every rule change seems to magnify the influence that a referee and a Vidiot has over results.
We will continue to see more matches won/lost on debateable decisions. It's inevitable that a Grand Final will be decided by something dodgy, and that the best team will not always win.
Players are being instructed to feign a "crusher" tackle whenever they feel pressure on the neck; going off for HIAs when they have a non-head injury...
What a farce when the Cowboys player was sinned binned when Tedesco fell into his chest. There was no intent from the tackler to come in contact with Teddy's head. Then Teddy runs off, Easts gets a free interchange then they take off a tired player and Teddy runs back on!
Too many rule spoiled rugby union, and it is happening in rugby league.

They needed something to replace the old scrums that the ref could penalise for any one of 23 reasons ... for either side .. at any time

A Grand Final has already been decided on several "somethings dodgy" where the best team didn't win - unsurprisingly, it was the Roosters who benefited.
 
I hope this improves your mood too 🙂
