    News Coronavirus and NRL

    And to think some precious people on here think that other sports have dumber players. Deadset our sport wins that category - easily

    2021 Ratings

    Lots of comments on social media saying people have switched off watching the games due to blowouts. Curious to see if the data is clearly showing this in regards to the general season vs like-for-like games (e.g. raiders v Titans in 2021 and 2020)

    Question on Peter V'landys

    Moore Park...we have a problem. Blowouts.

    This one's pretty easy to answer. Watch Goulds recent interview with PVL. Gould proposes the hypothesis that the 6 again rule is responsible for the blowouts. In response, PVL notes that the issue is not with the rule - all teams are subject to the 6 again - the issue is with certain clubs and...

    HIA - Storm find another way to rort the system

    How does "he didn't pretend to be nearly dead" = "he dived" :rolleyes:

    Refereeing The Magic Round sin bin directive

    In this specific situation. Lol. Your overall comment implied Robbo has given his players a directive this week to run low with the risk of getting smashed in the head. My comment to that is - that's utter nonsense. Particularly given 1) Teddy falls every match. 2) Teddy's developing a...

    Refereeing The Magic Round sin bin directive

    Lol. You're a fool if you think Robbo told Teddy to go on the field with the aim of potentially getting smashed in the head. Teddy is developing some history with concussion and you think he's being told to go get some more? Fking lol

    Refereeing The Magic Round sin bin directive

    Oh yeah, because Robbo ordered players to exploit the rule did he? My comment above on the need to apply common sense also applies to posts on here

    Refereeing The Magic Round sin bin directive

    There's got to be some common sense applied in the rulings. Not every high tackle is meant to be a sin bin!

    Refereeing The Magic Round sin bin directive

    What a completely inept and utter overreaction by the NRL tonight. They've well and truly f**ed magic round. If they were intending to attract more fans to the game, they've done the complete opposite. They've made the games a massive joke tonight.

    University research on fans' views of racism in the NRL

    Done. Never seen racism at games.. but plenty on social media particularly when certain indigenous players are spotlighted or conversations around the anthem come up.

    Best NRL Pubs

    As the title of the thread suggests, any recommendations for good pubs in or near Sydney CBD/Inner West to watch the footy on a Friday night? I'm bringing some friends, some are casuals. Only real need is a big-ish screen and not super packed

    Mitchell Pearce sexting scandal

    Can't confirm, but I imagine there are legal implications to the media stating there was harassment (or alleged harassment given there is no court case). Either way, no one cares about the nobody. Sells more papers focusing the issue on Pearce

    News JDB Trial

    Could've thought it would've been too obvious during the trial. So opted for it after the hung jury as part of the strategy for the next phase... Anyway, I doubt it's actually what happened.

    News JDB Trial

    Can't help but think that his lawyers/manager revealed the cancer diagnosis, as a result of it being a hung trial, hoping to change public sentiment towards the guy...

    2020 has forced the NRL into having a better schedule. Let's make it permanent.

    Was always going to happen. PVL holding his position though that end of year is still the preference. I think he's out on a limb on this one.

    Are the NRL doing it wrong

    Itd be interesting to see how they come up with the list of priorities and how they expect certain areas of the game to function/progress at all. I'm assuming the responsibilities are being merged with other divisions

    No team has ever won the premiership after conceding 50pts in a regular season match

    Lol its over

    Yes, agree. I understand this is currently being looked at as an option too
