Know how you feel, and I’m sure there are many fans of every other club that feel similar.

Roosters and Storm lose? Rugby league is the winner.

 

[broncos4life]

Is there any aspect of someone's game more overrated in the history of Rugby League than Xavier Coates and the high ball? I don't think I've seen him catch one since his debut which he has been dining out on his whole career.

He’s an aerial specialist.

I can't stand the diving. Both teams were guilty of it last night, it was a shitshow. What can NRL refs do to stop it?

In the NHL refs can send players off for Embellishment. In most cases this happens when someone is trying to sell a penalty, and both players will be sent off. But the penalties in ice hockey are only 2mins, and if they are coincidental then it doesn't really affect the game at all. The players called for Embellishment are also likely to fined after the game ($2000 or something like that, but their salary cap is also much higher).

It's hard to bring anything like this into rugby league because of the interchange system. The ref could send a player off to a doctor's bench as soon as they stay down, stay off for 5mins to get their injury checked. The problem with the NRL is coaches always find ways to manipulate rules, like I don't think this would work because they would figure out how to get free interchanges or some sort of advantage.

It seems like there's a need for something lesser than an HIA, that discourages players from acting injured to draw a call. Maybe the solution is to take the player off to be checked with no player replacement. If they're not hurt they will play on, if they're hurt they will want to see the doctor.

What is the record for number of sin bins in a season? This season may be challenging that record. Kind of ruining games.
Well, there's sin-bins for violent/dangerous conduct, which I'm 100% in favour of and then there's sin-bins for repeat infringements (inside the 10 etc) where maybe there should just be a team fine or something.

It's only my view, but sometimes games improve once a player's been sent off/sinbinned as the team with the lesser number of players lifts.

If the players didn't do the actions (such as hip-drop type movements in defence), the referees wouldn't feel they have to make a call on a penalty offence (whether it's too harsh or bang on) and there's no sinbins/sendoffs.

Maybe the solution is to take the player off to be checked with no player replacement. If they're not hurt they will play on, if they're hurt they will want to see the doctor.

Make any player who's not clearly injured (by clearly, I mean there's blood and gore, an obvious bone break, the player screaming or priests giving the last rites etc) go off with no replacement for 5 minutes. If there is an injury, then obviously the replacement comes on.

Some players just look like they're lying there rubbing their supposedly injured knee but then, hey, a couple of minutes of that and a sip of the blue or red Gatorade and the player's fit to go again and the boys have got their breath back/plans organised again.

But you're right, the NRL and the Clubs are in an arms race where the NRL create the rule and the clubs - as is their right and job, like the Storm did with gang-tackling etc) - go "well, the rule doesn't say we can't do Plan F, so that's do that and see what happens!"

The Cowboys look cold!

[BroncsFan]

Why is Blocker commentating again... we had to sit through him for the Sharks v Rorters game... I need time to recover before hearing his cooked takes again

 

[BroncsFan]

5mins in and the diving has started... send him off for a HIA

 

[BroncsFan]

Jesus christ... now the fucking Danny Levi pass it into the player in the ruck is back and getting paid with penalties

 

[Foordy]

Why did the Cowboys get the ball back when Hiku lost it on the last

 

[Battler]

The ref is riding the cows big time atm

 

[BroncsFan]

Why did the Cowboys get the ball back when Hiku lost it on the last

They were claiming the pass came off the warriors player and then Hiku kicked it
