Refs strangling the game

[innsaneink]

The new no punching rule has stuffed this game

For over an hour we had to put up with niggle grub act cheap shot left right and centre…thanks to these rules and two refs who dont have a clue

The ruck was Melb Storm like, slow as a wet week...if they let both teams go at it hard for the opening 10 or 15, let em belt crap out of each other it gets out of their system and we see FOOTBALL for the rest of the game...as it is now we got maybe 15 minutes of good RL

NSW were very poor execution wise....how QLD couldnt beat us after all the chances we gave em...LOL
One nil

One is FUN

Agree, however, I am happy to not see fighting as part of the norm, as it once was.

They needed to blow the whistle hard and often when the excessive niggle became obvious early in the game. Nate Myles was in his element and did not have to resort to leading with his head, others not far behind.

We need refs who are respected by the players

We only have two options Bring back the biff and any third men in are sent to the bin

Or we keep the current system and again if someone else gets involved they get sent to the bin

When one melee ends and another starts it is boring and tedious
