A lot of one sided games recently

Post by Fred »

Is it mr or does there seem to be a lot of one sided games lately? Heard on radio whilst picking up a red at BWS that a team lost something like 60 to 0? There seems to have been a few with no or little scores.

Yep. Gotta agree. I think Peter The Great might wanna re-think the 6 again rule. It seems the wrestle wasn't so bad after all. At least it gave us close games that the fans love.

yep, there has got to be a whole review of the rules of the game that have been brought in.

Usually they trial new rules in lower grades.
which 100% should of been the case for these bunch of changes..

it is almost certain to change from next year, to what degree i am not sure.

They trialled the six again rule a few years ago in the lower grades. The results weren't strong enough to make a change. Since then there was mass hysteria about so called wrestling and Ch9 of all people wanted more tries scored.

So PVL changed it at a whim which is one of his few poor moves. The ratings are holding up at the moment but if we keep having huge blow outs game after game like last night that'll change.

I'd be happy if they changed it back before the season ends. It's not working so there is no point continuing and changing it after the season.

ok, i wasn't aware they had trailed it before.

if they change it will be off season.

if World Cup goes ahead these rules will have a huge effect on contests.
