Live Game Discussion
The blockbuster early in the week games from the big teams are usually great like tonights....and as the weekend goes on the quality drops.
I think adding two new teams wont help that
Ref can sort that ,into an extra time extravaganza if all look half worthy to not rumble the con
 
Apart from the penalty milked by Grant on the Cleary FG I thought the pea blower let the game flow. Let head highs that were, up until last week, blown as penalties go and did not use the 6 agains to ruin the game (1 issued in the entire game). Ruck interference by both teams was accepted, off side kick chasers were not pinged (not that it occurred often so could have been a simple miss) and there were several times players, on both sides, were never on side.

The question is: do we see that same approach taken across the weekend or is the more leninet interpretation of the rules reserved for title contenders so the TV audience is entertained? I trust that there has been some common sense applied to the head high situations and the same leeway around the ruck is applied going forward, but how do you know as a player what set of rules you need to prepare for?
