Scoring team re-starting play could reduce the impact of a try being scored after a player is binned....the 12 man team has a set to regather...though really i dont think its that big an issue either way...if the scoring team is dominating regardless, theyll retain possesion quickly enough.
Not a big fan of the constant changes.
 
Yes, too right champion @Buttface, but the "darlings are the biggest club and the NRL always looks after their interests, are huge for the Qld profile and the bottom line is all that matters.
I don't care too much - it just makes me want to beat them more.
The nrl only exists in the first place because of them …. Just saying, although being an ARL loyalist as a kid , I do have to accept things like the ARLC would never have happened with the arl in charge . Doesn’t change the fact the iteration of rugby league we all watch , has the broncos at a point of power … which was the whole reason the SL thing got off the ground .

If I didn’t bleed this club I doubt I’d be watching this cheat fest.
Chuck the Radley shite in just to level out the playing field between the loved ones.


It’s like going to the casino to watch ya mate play the pokies. Ya cheer him on in the hope he wins, and sometimes he does, but we all know how it goes most days.
And this is not a woe is me, bcoz we don’t get it the worse, that’s Canberra. Has been for a while, the Knights too. We always seem to get our fair share of TV games and sometimes I don’t know how?
A few years ago, knowing it had been a fair while, I said to a raider mate, “TV game tonight!” He said “first in 3 years”
3 phucing years!!! They are dead set having a lend. I reckon one of them at the NRL cockpit (that’s what I imagine it to be, a pit full of cocks making the NRL shite), one of these cocks said how about we give the Raiders no tv games and see how long it takes before someone cares?
Meanwhile in phucing donkey town they get every Friday night tv game at home, even away games they get to play at home on TV, and it’s not the first time. How easy is getting players and sponsors when you can say you’re gunna get to play on tv every Friday night and spend the rest of the weekend with your family and for sponsors you get your Friday night TV exposure plus every week after you knock off you get swish seats at the game.
I could go on about how rigged this game is in other areas to but I think I’ve probably bored everyone enough.

Champion @Buttface, there's so much truth in your post, but like you, I bleed as much as any diehard fan for our club and somehow look beyond all the unfairness and come back to our boys.
Somehow.

“Not a big fan of the constant changes.”

Me either, and they don’t trial these things long or well enough.

The NRL’s scientific approach would be to get some u10’s to play the new rules while someone who’s ever played to eyeball it.
 
reserve grade at the best club in the comp. i thought he would been a decent enough 14 to rest api so he doesn’t have play 80 mins every week. would’ve been cheap too and more experienced than hope
He did nothing the times he was here average Reggie's player getting Mason to have a few games at 9 in the trials mite be a good idea


If we are getting the other brother when he gets outs he mite play a few games in Reggie's this year this year and hoping to have a crack at first in 27

Plus another big advantage is your recovery routine Friday to Friday 7 days set rehab it's a massive advantage

It's a leg up it's cheating the other clubs out of rehab time to manger there players



And with the byes in my opinion no club should be forced to have a BYE in the first 8 rounds at all

After the first 8 rounds you could have up to 3 teams having a bye in the same round and you will still have 7 games played

Don't stop keep giving the truth bombs.
 
Another armchair ride through the comp for the Darlings of the NRL Suk.

I disagree with this take. I dislike the Broncos as much as anyone and would agree they have had to many advantages for too long. One of those advantages is very few 5 day turnarounds and the free to air games they get. But typically with that comes a tougher draw. They usually cop more top 8 sides than anyone because broadcasters want them playing other strong teams.
As for a couple of extra home games. Well magic round is a bit of a rort but hardly that big a deal, particularly as it's not a home crowd. And playing Dolphins there isn't a valid complaint in my opinion. Similar scenarios play out all the time.
Edit: just read further on you touching on the free to air games and the advantages they bring. This is correct but until recently the NRL had no say in the scheduling, it was the broadcasters choice. I think the NRL have actually taken a big step in evening this up recently.

Its a make or break year for Benji but realistically "make"means we keep moving up the ladder...
We probably arent going to quite reach the 8 because we simply havent added a lot of talent(KPP..?) plus the same old coaching buddies who cant make a difference are still there clinging on
,but real close to 8th will be a pass mark..
Going backwards or even staying at 13th will be terminal
If so,Benji wld be compartmentalised by the media as an effective recruiter but an ineffective coach
Life in the jungle...
I was thinking the same thing, but there is one hitch.

Bula.

We will get an injury and meh we will see. If we resign Bula I fully believe Benji should get 9th or higher and if he doesn't it's a failure.

No Bula or similar replacement, I am then thinking we may come 12th..

If we loose Bula, it will be a lesson again that Issac Moses clients will walk out when they get any form.

You're talking about Manase Fainu, how much football would he have played in the big house we don't even know where his heads at, that could be the furthest thing from his mind.
Could he make a successful come back after all that time away from the game, I have my doubts.

I think he could if he is dedicated to coming back. We've seen Sandor Earl and Bronson Xerri return from similar time out of the game. Whether he or anyone at the club is considering it ive no idea.

Were they out for 4 years and it could be longer if he doesn't get released on minimum, so the earliest would be for 27 when he will be 29, it's pretty late to take another crack at it.

Plus, young Haywood will be chomping at the bit to make the bench by then you would think.

Yeah, each had a 4 year ban. Earl then did and ACL once returning to training before getting on the field giving him an extra year out of the game.
I see no reason Fainu couldn't come back. Sure it has been a little longer out of the game than the others but 29 isn't so old that he will have lost any physical abilities. Sure he won't have had the professional development but his core skills would remain from the years of junior footy.
I think this is probably all for nothing anyways as I'm not sure any club would want the headlines that would come with him.
I don't know much about Haywood having never really watched him play, but not many teenage hookers in the NRL. Id think he'd less likely be able to handle first grade than Fainu in 27.

“After the first 8 rounds you could have up to 3 teams having a bye in the same round and you will still have 7 games played”

Nice solution.

You don’t need an algorithm to play fair do ya.
 
If out on Parole , club would check it with both the NRL and his conditions for parole , earning a living by playing footy should be allowed I would think but NRL rules I’m not sure , it should be ok as he is out , served his time and looking to change his life under coaching for footy , club most likely has assistance as well in areas for education , etc , he needs to be training hard now for fitness , rest will come once out and training under coaches
