Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2847256, member: 8315"] Great post. TBH, that is one of the things that drives me nuts! These arbitrary penalties. The ones where we'll penalise a bloke in the 56th minute for something he's been doing all game... ...Then in the following set he'll do the same thing and be let go... This nonsense simply cannot stand. When I start to lose all hope I just look at crowd numbers...which are sitting in the toilet... and the NRL's precious TV ratings which, although good, from previous season's openings are lightly down. It gives me a little hope. Unfortunately it won't lead to genuine change. When crowds and ratings drop the NRL won't think of reform they'll think "Shit! Let's make Origin a bigger pantomime and a larger than life spectacle than it is right now!!!" We need billions watching three games a year not measly millions. Bring the drama! Bring the entertainment! Cam Smith is Daniel Bryan. Wheel Paul Gallen out like Triple H with a skull mask like a Game of thrones villain. It's all pretend anyway. [USER=1899]@Big Pete[/USER] I don't agree with everything Gore says and writes as most of it is a shot across the bow designed to generate clicks and discussions but what was your take on his idea of a player should have a mandated one-match suspension once they incur ten penalties? I think it's good. NRL players aren't stupid. Punching was eradicated overnight once there was a clear rule.
