Why is the NRL currently booming?

Expansion gives the sport an image of growth and positivity. The dolphins have given Brisbane an extra team to follow as some may have been disenchanted by the Broncos and have been brought back to the sport.

You appear to have the same grasp of facts as Vlando himself. Penalties before the 40m line = not Vlandoball

Can't have one without the other baby. There was a chicken, and there was an egg.

I agree the 40m penalty change was a good change. It was however a revision of the crucial rule changes that were put in place by your pal Vlandys.

Why is the NRL currently booming, things like this don`t hurt,,


"The Sharks have added to their property and asset portfolio with the acquisition of the former Westpac building in Cronulla.

Located at 94 Cronulla Street at the southern end of the Cronulla Mall, the 562sqm retail/commercial freehold building is set to be transformed into a new office and retail space for a Sharks merchandise store
."

Good stuff Sharks.

Such close games in 2021, how exciting. Games effectively over by the 50 minute mark. Thanks so much Vlandys. Within a year of changing the 6 again rule we've got tight matches and more entertaining games again
Be interesting to know how many 6 agains have been given this year compared to last 2. It feels like they've put it away thankfully. You can really tell a shift in the game when they bring it back out. Sht rule.

No I disagree, I think introducing the rule has done its` job, teams are continually on warning now to get their act together around the PTB and off-side etc.
It` is so much easier for a ref to wave six-again than to stop the game and give a penalty, especially when the penalty count was starting to mount and the ref would have that little voice in the back of his head saying "I`m gonna get crucified for the stop start game". Teams knew they could wear the ref down into being more lenient.
No, I think it was a great addition and is doing its` job and probably is playing a large part in the flowing League we are seeing presently.

"Magic" round has been pretty underwhelming so far, hope the ground can hold up well enough tomorrow.

I don`t know what planet you`re on, it`s been amazing.
Listening to the commentators on the radio yesterday say what an amazing convivial atmosphere there has been inside and outside of the stadium with the seas of different jerseys.
