Penalty Blitz

[Glenn]

Instead of a million and one penalties, for repeated infringements why not 5 mins in the Sin Bin?

 

[T-Boon]

What about Sterlo last night blowing up about the one penalty given for incorrect play the ball. His argument was "he almost got a foot on it, made an attempt, so they are not the ones we should be concerned about".
Hey cool, thats how we should be with knock ons and forward passes as well then. It is only slightly forward no drama.

Are the penalised sides actually losing matches though ?

Well in the case of last week vs Cronulla it was 1 try a piece,

 

[Maximus]

Think I’ll tune out until rd 12 and see then if a game of RL has managed to break out! This is sht.

That's it, I am out. No interest in a sport looking like yawnion when the most penalty goals wins.

Neither of you will be missed.

Nope.
Refs are doing this, not the players.

Refs/Refs boss.
They are the ones doing it.
Its funny, at the game tonight, my phone was blowing up, the crowd was blowing up at the refs.
Come on here "Its good for the game".
f**king morons.

So you and your Cronulla mates think that there should be no repercussions for breaking the rules and we are the "f**king morons"?

This thread is funny as AF

My favourite part was the Broncos supporter saying that wanting the rules to be followed is "Sydneycentric thinking"

Nice contribution.

Ok, I’ll contribute. The refs blowing the whistle isn’t their fault. Toddy wants the game to be played his way so they have to take it. Ergo, the players have to take it.

Despite most penalties from last nights game being correct does the fan want to see a game like last night again? I don’t.

Cam getting binned was the the greatest thing the game has seen for a long time. Imagine it, refs’ boss binned!

30 odd penalties is disgraceful

Anything else you want?

Like getting Friday nights every week and a consistent turnaround?

Like it was intended when first introduced? Nah, why go back to basics when you can interperate every thing that happens

Melbourne did, dogs did.

 

[typicalfan]

How is it the refs that are doing it when the players are the ones infringing and the vast majority are warranted. The issue last night is it did become a joke and Ceccin didn’t use the bin enough. Apart from that this is on the players. Teams are actually game planning for penalties now

 

[cleary89]

I hope the refs boss has a good look at that and they act accordingly from now on.

Happy for them to be sent off for that crap. Will stop very quickly.

Once again, it's about the refs taking control of the asylum not letting the players run it.

While Slater did simulate, Luke Lewis is a f**king moron for sticking his hand out to grab him. Why even do that?

 

[moffla]

We absolutely deserved to lose last night, so as a storm fan I’ll accept the loss. The NRL fan in me is fuming though. That was not Rugby League.

It is as per the rules. If people don't like it, then rewrite the rules. (I thought it was horrible last night, but then its 100% controllable by the players and coaches).

 

[RufusRex]

It's bizarre that everyone whined about Melbourne's style of play and now that it's being cracked down on everyone whines.

I’m not whining ... I think it’s fantastic
15 years of systematic cheating and pushing the envelope .. they can’t cope when the actual rules are being applied

Stay the course refs .. coaches/players will get it and league will be the better for it

I know. Im as shocked as you are that Smith got binned.

"

You are the f**king morons.
You think that Todds plan is great.
Its not and its going to turn the league into a laughing stock and going to remove fans from the game and you dont care you actually want that.
Hell some of you who think its great have been telling yourself the majority of fans are all for it.
Hell even the match day thread disagrees with you.

Fans love watching games where people are consistently offside. Sitting in the stands you can always head people around you applauding the office players.

Fans love watching games when theres 33 penalties, one try is scored and the game plays like NFL.
Oh wait.

 

[Clifferd]

Anyone who enjoyed last nights game probably likes watching paint dry

Yeah so get the NRL should do something to get the players inside and solve both issues.
