So, that’s 15 sin bins this round so far with two games to go. The game has gone crazy.
Yep....it's getting unwatchable....

A player slipping and falling into a defender's arm gets a penalty??? I wonder how long till coaches exploit this and tell their players to dip intentionally before contact hoping to cop a shoulder to the head...

Something needs to be done, or this game is dead over the next decade.

I actually don't think the NRL are too concerned.

The sinbin interpretation atm is a dog's breakfast.

But do the NRL enjoy the drama and havoc it's causing as long as in there mind it's for player safety.

It's making the game unpredictable which is what they would be happy with.

Anyone can beat anyone on there and realistically I think that's what the NRL want.

Now i am not saying its contrived and defending some of these pathetic decisions.

They have gagged the coaches so it's not getting dragged through the media constantly these decisions.

Any chance David Middleton has the stats on successful captain's challenges? Four in the Riff/Manly game must be a record surely.

I'm sure the nrl want the unpredictability it brings....but they will be back peddling when viewers start switching off. It's a joke. Officials are deciding games. Everyone I know is frustrated and watching less footy....some have switched off completely. I'm sure it's not just people I know either. The game is ruined. Even fatty said he stopped commentary cause he ain't happy the direction the game is heading.
