Why on earth though would you want to bring the sacked wooden spoon winning club destroying coach on to your staff?

Still only 6 binnings, 2 token ones don't count unless you want to protect a marked man.

I won’t be watching anymore league this weekend, probably not for a while to be honest.

And this is what happens when the rules aren't enforced, but the game is "managed":
The players have no idea what is allowed and what's not because it's subjective, to the referee's interpretation, and it changes every other week. I was a huge fan of the penalty blitz a couple of years ago where the refs were told to blow the pea out of the whistle for all legitimate penalties, for mine that was a sliding doors moment for the game. It should have continued until the players got the fucking idea. Instead the administration rolled over and went back to "managing" the game. I hate hearing referees coaching players through a game - these guys are playing at the highest level, they know the rules, why give them any latitude? It's more work for the refs and it's more confusing for the players - and the fans.
Inconsistency is easily the game's biggest issue right now, and has been for a decade. The fix is simple - officiate by the rules. But no-one has the kahunas to do it.
RIP Rugby League. I won't be watching any more games this weekend and refuse to watch any games other than the Broncos for the rest of the season.

Watch the Storm exploit the **** out of this situation this weekend and see no repercussions for it.
How many dives will we see from them and the Roosters?
How many sin bins for the teams they play against?
Cant believe how bad this game has become in such a short span of time.
I hate the 6 again rule, but the game was at least still somewhat watchable, but after this round, its become a joke.

Yep, prepare for some of the worst acting you have ever seen. By the end of this round we will look like European soccer.

Watched the first half of the Dogs/Raiders game just to see if there is any consistency to this joke of a game.
So far 1 head high penalty in the first half, did not result in a sin-bin or a report, just a straight penalty.
It was blatant and worse than Gambles sin bin offense last night.
V'landys the cowardly prick has 100% called it in to the refs to back off due to the massive negative response to the opening two games of the magic round.

Did anyone break and turn the game on?
checking stats there’s only been one penalty and 4 set re-starts in the first half. Seems to be being officiated differently already

Plenty of head highs completely ignored. CHN had a head high being tackled in the last couple of minutes and nothing.
So much for not backing down.
