Not up to you I'm afraid.

DCE had his best game of the year last night. And the Titans spine is by far the worst in the comp.

DCE ticks all the boxes. Release Brimson.
That's gold 😂😂😂 release Brimson for a 37 year old you'll get one season out of that has already backflipped on the club previously. Geez, lucky you aren't running the Tits, they'd get the spoon 10 years in a row with you making those kind of calls

But you guys just throw out any fact or stat you don't like...

Yeah I carefully curated an account for years and a thousand posts just so I could finally launch a secret AFL troll mission. I can't believe you saw through it! Truly a dizzying intellect.

Anyway you're getting a little bit worked up about it so I'll just leave you be so you don't have to keep seething all day.
You haven’t produced any stats at all. Just opinions and ‘a mate told me’. Just admit you are wrong mate. It’s okay! The fact you lied about Canberra rugby league shrinking is your problem. Now settle petal.

Straight into the 8 with DCE.

With Brimson they've been straight to the shithouse for years now. He has to go.

It’s time to scrap the 6 again rule. It was implemented with good intentions to keep the game moving but in reality it’s just an albatross around the game’s neck. There’s nothing more frustrating as a fan when the game sequence goes set restart/set restart/try . Even more so when a team has defended the set on their line bravely when late in the count you hear that stupid noise signalling 6 again. And a lot of the time when signalled there is no difference in the ptb speed.

Even when your team scores on the back of that , your first reaction is embarrassment. And when your team is on the receiving end you feel like putting a brick through the TV.

It feels like the 'six-again' is an addition to penalties, not a replacement. Don't have hard data on that but it's a gut feel.

Be interesting if those in the amateur data community have those statistics.

I don’t think it’s popular with fans at all. I talk to a lot of genuine supporters and I haven’t met one who is a fan of it. Can you imagine team X attacking in a grand final behind by 2 with 5 minutes left receiving 3 set restarts in a row and winning on the back of it. ? Would be a hollow victory. You should have to earn your tries , not have them presented to you on a silver platter.

There is no 'Six Again Fan Club'. Nor is there a 'Penalty Fan Club'. No fan wants either.

But watch the product with six agains vs penalties and you'll have your answer as to why RL is the premier sport in Australia right now. NRL is simply better to watch now than the previous decade and this rule change is one of the main reasons why.

Good in theory but you have to remember why it was brought in in the first place. Cynical penalties being given away inside the 20m so defence could get set and have a breather. Teams only have themselves to blame for its existence.

Yes it replaced penalties

- ruck penalty
- inside the 10 penalty
- not dropping out the ball correctly penalty
- not kickoff correctly penalty
- not playing the ball correctly penalty

Plus
- replace the scrum when the ball found touch

I find it difficult to tell if a 6 again was called in lower grades when cant see the referee sometimes
