Round 3 Discussion *SPOILERS*

[cochise]

Oh no..Cammy's mug on tele..

They are right he looks like he is in prison.

 

[gallagher]

Really enjoyed that.

I didn't enjoy the result but some really good signs to do with the style of game. A lot more upbeat.

I really dislike both teams so was really watching it for the style of footy and I can say I'm impressed.

Hopefully it keeps up as the amount of games I watch every week has been decreasing the last 4 or 5 years. That was good tonite.

I can't wait for a close game at that pace and intensity.

Wondering what origin is gonna look like with this format ?

 

[JC99]

Broncos looked terrible, they barely tested the eels. New rules worked well for now hopefully that favours us, interested to see how Melbourne take advantage of it.

Always different rules for origin so god knows.

im worried about Tiges, we have gone with a big pack now and I believe you have to be a very mobile pack now with new rules, i hope the Leluia boys got fit during break as i am worried about them with this speed

Twal, Luciano, Garner can all play 80 mins. That gives our other forwards more minutes off the field which will help with fatigue - that’s why Madge picked a more mobile bench too I think. It will help us in attack big time if it keeps up like this

Grant is the key, if he is what everyone says he is then I think we will go well.

They will be lucky to get the ball the way they wrestle through a game.

They've played a real boring game for years now, hopefully the new rules sorts them out.

Not so sure on dummy half's being the key... Everyone seems to think the new 6 to go rule will be like a quick tap
Mahoney tonite didn't run.at all he just shovelled it on

 

[TheDaBoss]

New rule was weird at first

But it makes the game go 10x faster and way more smooth than before

You might be right, should be able to tell after Souths play tomorrow night.

Haas and Hopate played 80 for the Donks..didn't help them...Matterson was the only Parra forward to play 80..

I very much doubt Leilua or even Garner can **effectively** play 80mins with the increased speed of the game...Twal possibly but there will be even more rotation ..I feel under these new rules...An 80min hooker is even more important than ever...both Turpin and Mahoney had spells..

After seeing tonight I am happier with the make up of our bench, but we could definately do with using Walters spot on another forward.

 

[Telltails]

With the difference in completions, against lesser opposition that game could have been a cricket score. I'm expecting some ugly scores.

 

[davey_farrell]

yep fair points you make josh and cochise, hope Harry kills it at dummy half with the new rules

 

[jadtiger]

I honestly dont think it will take too many weeks before newsfilth/nine start to complain about blowouts in games and they put pressure on the NRL to "adjust" refereeing so the games are closer citing making the game a better spectacle.
Being cynical and suspicious is my normal nature.

100%, as a team tires it is going to be really hard to regain momentum, as you tire some sides are going to start giving away more and more 6 again calls as they will struggle to clear the ruck. It is really going to compound in some games. I wouldn't be surprised to see a side run up 60 or 70 points in a game in the next few weeks, especially if a team comes in a little under done after the break.

I actually have a few concerns about how we will cope with this.
