Agreed. And not just cramps.
There’s plenty of needless stoppages that kill a team’s momentum.

The Royce no try is one example the other night.
It was never a try. All it does is give the defense time to set, and the players catch their breath.

Just once I’d like to see an attacking player, in that situation, say to the ref “no try, get on with it”.

I have a conspiratory theory.

The refs get told to take action when a game is too fast for them. So they make arbitrary stoppages so they can get some air into their lungs.

Nothing would surprise me.

I’m still not over the SS no try by the Badger. His finger was clearly still on it. What’s the ruling? If based on control, tell me how do you ground a loose ball on the ground without gripping it?

It’s hard not to think that it’s a two-tier competition when stuff like this happens…

The favoured and the unfavoured…

The favoured:
1. Rorters
2. Hartleys
3. Broncos
Any other club that has had success over the last 5 years (currently Storm, Souffs, Parra and Panfas)…

The unfavoured:

Sharks, Raiders, Warriors, Tigers, Knights…

As much as I agree with you, I think you'll find that she is actually a woman with a testosterone anomaly. Now you can also take illegal PH drugs for this outcome as well and that's where the lines are blurred on what should be deemed acceptable guidelines to keep the sport honest.

Turns out this wasn’t quite right, there’s 2 of them who when tested previously have XY chromosome…. That’s a biological male, not a hormone anomaly.
Something a quick cock and bollocks check should be able to fix… (or post-surgery scaring)
