That clown Beattie & his puppet Greenberg have bowed to “fan pressure” & come out today saying they have told the refs to stop being nit-picky with the penalties.

I get the feeling most fans were happy with the crackdown for the long term benefit of the game.

....& It’s only the press banging on about it that forced Beattie to try & suck up to them.

What’s everyone’s thoughts?

If they wanted to disband it, just let the crackdown whittle away...

NRL always make drastic steps, not fine tune rules.

Dopes!

Should get indication from thursday night what is happening.

They also added that you can be sent to bin for foul play, so late hits on playmakers, if someone hits Fifita late i bet nothing happens

It’s the pickiness that pisses me off. You are left scratching your head sometimes at some of the silly calls the refs are making.

I agree. Though that is always the case, just magnified by more penalties and sin binnings.

It made me laugh when I heard they just changed this rule too.

What about Napper 3 weeks ago!!

Beattie is such a dumb merkin, he seriously is.

Greenberg is a slimy prick but at least he has some brains.

The game is in terrible hands!

Yeah let’s not be so picky, we only have a 10 metre rule because you are supposed to be back 8 metres.
