Because they barely know the rules as it is... and they clearly can't see the ramifications of it.
They'll blow up when it happens right in front of their faces and then they'll pretend like it's the first time it's ever happened and campaign for the NRL to change the rules.
The intelligence of league journalism is in the gutter and then you have idiot former players on there giving off the whole... "I don't understand it all... the captains challenges are all a mystery to me... back in my day we just played on".
The storm and panthers are the smartest teams in the comp... storm more so when it comes to knowing the rule book back to front... I can definitely see a scenario where they throw a challenge in for a missed field goal and specifically flag to the ref that markers weren't square, and get themselves a penalty in front to win the game.
At that point the journos will blow up... but it will be far too late and we are already getting to the point where the games are all becoming super important.
