Some abatriy round means nothing

Alone it doesn't

Only 1 team in the last 30 years has won the comp and not been a top 2 defensive team that year.

We have only just started playing the good teams and still have to hit Origin. So it something that needs to get worked on

There is no way a 12 mannned Newcastle gets anywhere near us last year. Lack the Ruthless edge

Under the NRL’s operations manual, trainers must not enter the line of sight of a kicker when he is attempting a shot at goal, or do anything that unnecessarily impacts or distracts an opposition player.

While there is no suggestion Murphy acted deliberately, Parramatta are expected to be spoken to about the situation and will likely be handed a breach notice.

“There is a provision in the international laws of the game that allows for another kick if another player tries to distract a kicker,” the NRL’s head of football Graham Annelsey said.

“But there is no reference in there whatsoever if a trainer tries to distract a kicker.

“This is an operational matter, as opposed to an on-field matter.”


...

Asked if there should be a rule which allows players to take kicks again in the event of a trainer distracting them, Annesley said: “It’s one of those things we will review.

“This happens very rarely. But could something be written into our operational procedures to deal with that? Technically, yes it could be.”
