NRL 2026 Round 1 Discussion

If the NRL is going to persist with the six again rule... then the rule needs to change so the try scoring team kicks off.
Only way to halt momentum and those 5-10 min swings where a team doesn't touch the ball.

Also Fck Canberra

Yeah the only way their stupid 2021 retread of the six again was going to work was if it was combined with changing the kick off rule.

It was either both or none... it should've been none
 
Poor Coby, no doubt on the phone as soon as that field goal went over checking flights back to Brisbane and hitting up Madge in DMs that he didn't actually want to leave and please take me back.
 
How many 6 agains have actually been called in the sections they changed?

This does happen since the 6 again was introduced where they blow the pea out of it before it all calms down a few rounds in. I don't know why they needed to change it again. How is this helping the referees having to add more into their brain to think about. I don't get it.
 
This season will break the record for the amount of 50+ blowouts... only to be bested next year and the year after when the talent pool gets even more spread out amongst the shit teams and concentrated in the good teams (players taking unders to have a chance of winning the comp). No doubt Vlandys will also introduce even more ridiculous rule changes to speed up the game which will contribute.

It'll be good to see only Penref, Brisbane, storm (they drop off the list when Bellamy retires), and rorters having a realistic chance of winning the comp for the next 10 years, with maybe souths, dogs, and the Raiders being a long shot if they have unreal seasons.

right up to the final pass.

IMO, he passed too early which allowed HTF to catch Graham

Yeah good call. Im watching to the side with F1 on so was only focused on the run
 
Murray still would have needed a rocket up his ass to get near that ball
 
Dolphins have got a horrible whistle to start this game. They havent been very intense at all and they are getting pinged quickly in the play the ball and 10m. Not sure I love this call either.

Wayne will get some love from the refs this year..they want the feel good story.
 
Fifita has not been good. Its been 10 years and he has never learned how to run off a good half.
