How much did they pay for Cotric again..

They bought a Cotric and now they have got a Hatrick
Round 2 no points
Round 3 no points
Round 4 no points
Just the second time in History

Barrett to be the 1st coach sacked
Or Hasler
It will be the fight for the spoon
 
Our game is starting to look like touch footy, and I don’t agree with V’landys direction.

NRL players aren’t racehorses. He’s destroying the strategy, the gameplay and the tense anticipation that the scrum and penalties have always provided.

I don’t like these new rules. It’s destroying the fabric of our game.

The game was never broken, but now our players are, and the difference between stacked teams is huge.

Highest rate of serious injuries and HIA’s we’ve ever had in our game so far in 2021.

Doogies new sponsors getting great bang for their buck hahaha...

Love to see it

Well their sponsor probably told them to lose all their games
That way their patrons will drink more alcohol
 
I'm a fan of the new rules. Punishes bad teams and those who persist with their old, negative tactics. The bottom dwellers either need to get good or continue to get 40 put on them.

I was watching a game from 2005 just before - it's equally as fast as it is now. We have all simply become conditioned to the grind of the Melbourne Storm wrestling era (2006-2020). That's not how the game is meant to be played. I'm glad it's going more in the direction of the old days.

For me it's less about speed and more about fatigue... game being faster is good but you either have one team exhausted getting flogged or two tired teams not playing to their best. If you get rid of the 6 agains for offsides and play the balls instead of scrums I think it'll be great

100% agree recent rule changes (these included) just remove the contest for the ball and field position. not really a fan at all

I don’t agree, the quality of tactical football is lacking and the suspense and theatre is gone.

I’m personally not enjoying the games that I’m watching in ‘21.

How long will Barrett's tenure be? JAC and Burton will still come even if there is a change of coach.


Burton and JAC much be wondering what the hell they have got themselves into.
 
Easter Blowout weekend. Sorry I don’t care how great a side is, watching teams getting smashed every week is up there with a trip to the dentist

You reckon the NRL are willing to let clubs go by the way?

And many with half a brain cell called this last year ...the floggings will get bigger and bigger as the Rds go on

And the gap between 1 and 9 is crazy already ...1 and 16 scary
