Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3227052, member: 1899"] I'm still holding out hope that this round was a learning experience for the competition. Even by Round 1 standards, I thought the standard was pretty poor and none of the contests made for great viewing. I miss watching teams going set for set against one another, it's just one way traffic and when the other team gets their 'turn' they're too exhausted to do anything. I don't think the officials are blowing enough set restarts either, the better teams are the ones that bend the rules the most. We saw again this afternoon with the Raiders who stood offside the entire game knowing they could risk it. My fear is that it will end up like last year where the only hint of a surprise was how overly-predictible it was. I want to see a team like Wests Tigers 2000 or North Queensland 2006 where they look dominant early but the competition lifts around them and suddenly the wins aren't coming so easily anymore. I fear for the competition if it ends up like 2020. [/QUOTE]
