Now that we are seeing all the top sides against each other in back to back games the 6 again rule change cheats these better sides employ are fully exposed.
Second marker never square, second marker moving back to become just an offside player, tackled player moving forward as much as they can, placing the ball behind the markers feet, third man in very late and slow peel off, offside as much as possible and leaving early, rolling the ball back without touching or even going close. Not playing the ball square
The second ref would help, 1 ref has no chance.
All the top sides are happy to push the ref and concede a 6 again. The contrast is stark compared to the bottom 8 sides and creates a massive advantage over the course of a game.
It's good coaching in a way but I hate the way the game is evolving.
It's here to stay because the media love it and are in love with Vlandys
It will eventually be spoken about once Covid is no longer an excuse for falling ratings, etc. it may well be too late by then though.
