2020 has seen the possible extinction of offside penalties in Rugby League.
So what has caused this...
A herculean effort by all NRL players to consistently stay behind the referee?
Whistle in the pocket?
No crowds to give “advice” to the referee?
One referee can’t cover everything?
Other?
But seriously... are fans happy to let offside infringements go to “keep the game flowing”?
If you’re neutral viewer I’d suggest yes. But if the team you’re playing is offside and stifling your attack... is it yes or no?
RIP.
