Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 2945471, member: 9651"] I don't think the entire competition is fixed for a 'closer ladder' or whatever, but I do believe there are certain narratives that the media loves to get behind and these result in junk articles and shitty journalism that builds hype around certain teams (makes sense cause it sells). As for individual games, I think it's highly likely the refs are being influenced into keeping certain games closer than they really should be. I have noticed a lot this season that games scheduled for peak TV audiences are influenced by decisions that don't make sense and the commentators love the old saying that "this one is going to be a grandstand finish"... Personally, it doesn't bother me that much (except when it is the Broncos) because it makes it far easier to pick the margin/line in certain games and I'll take a few wins on the punt over a 50-nil drubbing.
