It would have been a good game regardless - both teams were playing great footy and it wasn't like the official had to make any tough decisions. It's just a shame it took 37 minutes for a game of football to break out.What it did was the allow the two best teams all year sort it out amongst themselves. Both teams go t away with a bit each way and what a game it was as a result. I know it wouldn't work all the time and of course, teams like Melbourne will inevitably cheat if given that much leeway but I'll take this over getting hammered with three ridiculous sinbins like we did against Melbourne I think it was any day.
I wish every team was as good as Penrith/Brisbane but they're not and the game is trying to clean up the ruck.
