You guys think we are inconsistent

Proctor doesn't get binned

Heatherington gets set off

Sivo get 10 minutes in the bin.

All head high tackles - all get ajudicated differently for the same offence.

The Referees are a joke, the bunker is a joke, because they are the referees as well.

Unfortunately the game is turning into a joke.

What do we do about it Russ. All when do is stop watching

That is the problem Tony - if only everyone could stop going/watching for a month - they would change, but that won't happen of course. The teams that don't get rorted (their supporters) wouldn't join anyway. Only thing left is email/write to V'Landys/Abdo and complain about the anomalies - won't happen either.

I guess fans put up with it until they have had enough and then give the game away.

50% of the people watching are always going to be happy. That’s why you won’t get a mass exodus. If we were on the right side of the penalty count and six agains we’d probably be happy right now


Not really, the current rules are a real turn off. I’d take a win, but the games would still be rubbish.

Would prefer the wrestle we used to have?

They didn’t need to bring in the 6 again to remove the wrestle

Bit of biff for the lads

The wrestle had nothing to do with biff though.

It's funny the new rules were to stop the wrestle but I reckon the same teams who wrestled a lot take advantage of the new rules more than anyone. Just look at Melbourne they've got the best points per game average of all time ? the wrestle was getting a bit much just not sure this was the answer

It's not funny at all, they are just the best coached sides that now how to take advantage of any rule changes implemented.

New rules are much easier to take advantage of, particularly the ones that got introduced this year. Teams continually are offside and hold down early in tackle counts and milk head highs as much as they can. Still plenty of wrestling happening

Admire your integrity but reading the forum i’d hazard a guess the general consensus might look something more like “about time something goes our way”. I know I’d be one of them.

Exactly

I prefer the wrestle to this crapathon we have now

The six-again rule was introduced as a deterrent for teams who purposely sought a penalty to slow the game down. This new rule was meant to result in a “fast game, less stoppages and more free-flowing action for fans.” According to Graham Annesley.
I think it has resulted in more referee discretion and control over momentum. If the goal is to speed up the game by reducing stoppages, then the captain’s challenge is counter productive. If penalties slow the game down then why not simply reduce penalties, rather than increase them? Wests Tigers were penalised 20 times yesterday. That’s not good for fans either.
Gee, can’t wait for the next round of rule changes.

[Tigerbuck63]

There were a few Dud decisions in this game.
Laurie was never playing at the ball???
Overrule by the Bunker???
10 in the Bin for what Eels player ran into him.
They scored 3 tries when down a man Game over.
Shit game hate losing the the Eels not a top 8 team until we beat them.

 

[mike]

This extract is from Parramatta Eels Nation, and really gets up my nose about their view of our home-ground:

"FULL TIME
That will teach the Tigers to call it their jungle!!
Bankwest is & will always be Blue & Gold.
EELS 6-0 over the Tigers at OUR home ground.
Dominate 2nd half by the boys to wrap up the game
EELS 40 v Tigers 12

Well they are not wrong.

I think that now we've tried out the 6-again, it may be yes that people preferred the wrestle. At least you can say you've tried both.

You would think with the 2020 6-again, which seemed reasonably successful, they could just pair-back what they give 6-agains for, or make them 3-agains or something less brutal.

My maths may be a little rusty, but how is 3 again an option? I think the underlying motive for the 6 again is to modify the behaviour of players when dealing with refs. To promote authority of refs.

Correct, a 3 again early on in the set wouldn't even get you 1 extra tackle.

The teams that don't get rorted (their supporters) wouldn't join anyway. Only thing left is email/write to V'Landys/Abdo and complain about the anomalies - won't happen either.

I guess fans put up with it until they have had enough and then give the game away.

50% of the people watching are always going to be happy. That’s why you won’t get a mass exodus. If we were on the right side of the penalty count and six agains we’d probably be happy right now


Not really, the current rules are a real turn off. I’d take a win, but the games would still be rubbish.

Would prefer the wrestle we used to have?

I think that now we've tried out the 6-again, it may be yes that people preferred the wrestle. At least you can say you've tried both.

You would think with the 2020 6-again, which seemed reasonably successful, they could just pair-back what they give 6-agains for, or make them 3-agains or something less brutal.


My maths may be a little rusty, but how is 3 again an option? I think the underlying motive for the 6 again is to modify the behaviour of players when dealing with refs. To promote authority of refs.

Correct, a 3 again early on in the set wouldn't even get you 1 extra tackle.

I think he means adding on 3 extra tackles to the set which I think would be a better option.
