As good a time as any to bump this, when's the last time a team received 18 penalties?

 

[T-Boon]

I have to admit even though the defences dominated and tries were hard to come by there was a lot of very nice attack from the Tigers. Maybe the coaches are accepting the need to have more of a go from further out.

Probably when Smith played his 300th game.

You should watch the Storm play if you wanna see great attacking football

Lol 8 points vs a shit team

Excitement plus scrub

A shit team? Ya know, for the last few years you'd be right.

If we maintain that kind of intensity and effort, we are a long way from shit.

And no penalties from the ref when u stand offside in defence all day/night.

 

[Pedge1971]

Stifling defence by melbourne is a myth. The real strength is their ability to scramble and recover, saving points that other teams would give up

And stand offside on their line without penalty. Massive strength.

We must be pretty shit if we can limit 2 premiership heavyweights to 1 try back to back

 

[insert.pause]

Didn't see it, however if it was anything like last night they aren't penalising the offside evenly.

 

[Raiderdave]

Does everyone agree that the lack of line breaks is an issue and that it is the fault of coaches not wanting to take risks?

nobody agrees with you about anything


ever

if you want to watch touch football
then go watch it & leave us the F alone

Now now I was calling the tigers a shit team due to nobody rating them a snowflakes chance in hell at season's beginning,I was simply baiting the easiest catch on the site

300th game loser, feels good man

Keep blowing the whistle refs. The players will adjust and the penalties will come down, but force them to make the adjustments.

The focus on correct play the ball speed has slowed the ruck, the stricter 10m is supposed to even it out.

Slower ruck speed also will force teams to get more creative because they can't just Fifita there way downfield.

Early season teams are a little more conservative as they adjust. If the refs hold their resolve the game will be better for it in the long run.

It is great to see them pulling back the play the ball when they move off the mark.

Well, you are starting to warm to me. A year ago you would have told me to go watch AFL.

There is no problem with this....IF ...it is policed consistently and fairly to both sides. There is no way that was the case last night. After a 9-1 penalty count against the Tigers with 5 mins to go. Tigers player tackled 1m out right under the posts, ref calls held three times and the melbourne tackler literally picks the Tigers player up and turns him the wrong way. Would have been a penalty at the other end of the field.
