Message: [QUOTE="PineappleHead, post: 3263396, member: 13220"] You have two options. Either believe these disastrous laws are due to "incompetence" or caused by calculated planning. From the start, it was obvious to me that the "six again" rule was for nothing else except match fixing. If you have trouble believing this, then you haven't been around. The fact that Vlandys has connections with horse racing and Tabcorp should give you some food for thought. The six-again rule is a rort - and here's why: * Disproportionate penalty for the offense - for example - awarding six more tackles for a hand on the ball * Never scrutinised by media commentators (who in the past scrutinse EVERYTHING) * NRL do not publish statistics on six again - despite the decisions having huge affects on games * Even if data was published (as Fox do) quantity of six-again decisions in a game do not matter as much as WHEN and WHERE the decisions are made. For example, in last night's game, two six-agains were awarded after the Pangai rubbish decision for a high tackle, which led to the try that started the rot (up until then the Broncos were defending very well). This was toward the back-end of the first half when the Broncos had already defended their line for several sets. * Six-agains have been used strategically given to psychological cripple teams - for example at the end of the first half, and then the start of the second half. Once the targeted team is crippled and the score blows out, the ref just squares up the ledger with some bogus six-agains for the winning team * The game is now being run by the Bunker Ref - which we saw last night with the Pangai high shot. The faceless video ref not as the ability to turn a game by pulling up a questionable tackle several plays before (and of course overlooks those of the favoured team) Sorry people - but the game we loved is now corrupt and needs to be cleaned up.
