    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    As a spectator for cricket, the Gabba seems fine. Maybe the players' facilities need an update? I can't see how viewing the game would be significantly better at Adelaide or Perth compared to the GABBA. Certainly not enough of an improvement to justify a complete revamp.

    Seagulls Stadium?

    Return of the sin-bin

    Vossy suggested recently that they copy the superleague where the refs have a signal (waving arm around like a windmill) to signify that the next penalty will result in a binning. Stops them having to stop play, call over the captain and give an official warning. I don't get to watch the...

    Magic Weekend 2019 - Suncorp

    Dumb Idea. Hate to see the state of the playing surface by the time the last game comes around if there is some wet weather.

    2018 R4 Sun - Dragons 30-12 Knights @ WIN

    FMD. Nightingale was a metre off side and about to make a tackle and Gus and Joey can’t understand why it’s a penalty.

    Yeah, they decided to just make the player go back to the mark and play it again because they felt a penalty was too harsh. Now it’s worse because the risk of getting caught is minimal.

    Walking off the mark isn’t a penalty anymore. I wish it was.

    I thought the warriors/roosters game was one of the best I’d seen in a while with regards to the play the ball, lack of wrestling and the 10 metres. Don’t let a game with two of the teams most likely to give away a penalty put you off. Stay strong. The real test will be the number of...

    Please show where I said I had spoken to any NRL players, either current or former. It definitely wasn’t in the quote of mine you put in bold font a few responses ago.

    I’d say it’s more non existent due to wrestling and players being offside. Saying they’ll never adapt is crap. They’ve had to adapt from a 3 yard, to a 5 metre, to a ten metre defensive line over the history of the game. We are only 4 weeks into the year and some of you already want to throw...

    Mate, as I’ve said, The warriors and roosters thread and the manly and Canberra thread don’t appear to be complaining much about the refs ( no more than usual). Do you only read Cronulla threads?

    Again. No proof. Maybe on your Facebook and Twitter feed everyone agrees with you because you probably block everyone with a differing opinion and you have a nice little echo chamber for yourself. Just give me a link or something to where the majority are against the refs. This site and game...

    If you could identify where you have seen the majority of people not supporting the new edict from the Nrl to the refs, please do so. I bet you can’t because it doesn’t exist. The coaches and players to their credit have generally taken responsibility for the high number of penalties. They...

    Yes, I’ve spoken to people today. I not a dole bludging pot smoker like yourself. I’ve looked at the responses on Facebook, the papers, talkback radio, and the majority of fans back the refs. Even the Melbourne and Cronulla coaches didn’t bag the refs. I’d like to know where you hear the...

    Wayne Bennett has come out in full support of the refs. Or does one of the oldest and most successful coaches opinion not count? I’ve spoken to men who played decades before I was born in the 60’s and 50’s and they are all in full support of this. Most of them played at representative level...

    Look, I don’t know how old you are, but the game has always been reffed to the rule book. It’s only in the last 20 years this concept of “game management” by refs has crept in.

    This is complete bullshit.

    So you don’t want to see penalties, even though they were correct? Brilliant!
