Another domino has been played I think

I want to see Wade kicking more in play, get that rubber kick through the domino’s . The bomb kick on the fifth is a chancy tactic, it’s also giving the defence time to get ready to for it. Big guys like Wade running at the line who can put in a grabber to me offer more. Trouble is he doesn’t try it much.

Hard when he's been HIA'd twice in the last few weeks.

Yeah , I was thinking about this the other day and after watching a bunch of games this weekend. It’s pretty much all bomb before the line from everyone.
The short kick has to almost be gaurenteed to stop in goal.
Me thinks the 7 tackles is just to hard to defend in this new speed game,even more than previous years.

I hate the 7 tackle rule. Is it not enough to surrender 20 metres of territory?
It's just another example of the NRL's reactive approach to rule tinkering.

The "Billy Slater rule": Everyone's kicking it dead to take Billy's kick returns out of play so we need to come up with a rule to stop it.

The "Alfie Langer rule": Alfie's too good at getting in under the ball and stealing it in a tackle so we need to come up with a rule to stop it.

The "Benny Elias rule": Benny's too good at raking the ball back in the play the ball so we need to come up with a rule to stop it.

f**k me it's getting beyond a joke.

And don't get me started on this year's new one: The "It's a try. Oh, sorry, no it's not rule".

Yeah that cracked me up last night.... Tigers had the try and game awarded to them only to see it taken away two minutes later. It would have been a frantic few minutes on the forum had it happened to the Sharks. The rule I’m struggling with is the retrospective penalties. So what happens if a try is scored in the next couple of plays before they decide there’s been an infringement? Do they take the try off the offending team? Can of worms imo.
