Elaborate on this for me, please? Are you saying giving away cynical penalties is something we should do too? Or are you just saying that we should be able to defend our penalties better?
100% I have been on this train for ages! I started a thread about it, even. I fucking hate this 6-again BS, but we do ourselves no favours by not holding the ball when we get it, and seriously, nobody finds their front for a quick PTB.

You know what I think it might be is EPO. It is prevalent in the Horse Racing industry (reminds me of a certain person in the NRL head office) and is highly effective for Cardio.
In thinking about it, it would be a huge scandal for the NRL to have another top team caught cheating and have to...
