Sorry I thought it was obvious, I really hate Canberra. I hate that when I was 13 and had to go there to see my Aunt who lectured me on the importance of Canberra milk, I hate the fact that it has a stupid name, is filled with politicians, the decision to colour their team lime green and pretty much everything about the place. Mostly, I hate Kevin Walters and Ricky Stuart because they both look like out of shape James Bond villains from the Sean Connery era.
Hahahahaha - love this post

I just don't see how any fan can really whinge about any team specifically wrestling at this point. In the year 2019 they are all wrestling. They are all trying to control the players arms in the play the ball.

What we can whinge about is wrestling in general and the current interpretation of the ruck.



While its not a conspiracy theory imo. The storm have just been a lot more successful with it. It is true that Bennett was having wrestling coaches come in to work with the Broncos while Bellamy was the assistant coach at Brisbane. It is something he adapted to the storm and basically mastered

If the Broncos had been as successful as the storm with the same tackles it would have been them attracting the attention. Where we are in 2019 though is every team tries to control the ruck through wrestling.

A far greater blight in modern times for mine is this Roosters tactic of deliberate penalties on the goal line. Everyone is doing it now.

It's gotten to the point this season where players are appealing to the referee to be penalised.

Another laughable attempt at milking a penalty by the raiders. Landed on the side of his head, gets up rubbing the back of his head

Yes that is something that should be met by a sin bin.
