Message: [QUOTE="heartly87, post: 3263102, member: 8651"] I think we are just seeing the state of the modern world manifested in the great game. This game has gone down hill since the 24 hours news cycle and social media. We live in pc reactionary world now and frankly it sucks. The media think they are the game, it's not news it's stories and drama that they create. They blow up about something and then there is an equal or greater reaction from the NRL, then the media blows up about the reaction. It not new, it happened like two years ago with the penalty blitz. The six again was a good idea in theory, but wasn't needed. It's called playing advantage, It use to be a thing. but if you must have a six again why isn't it given with an advantage ruling so if play breaks down or they don't make meters a penalty is called. Newcastle got one and instantly dropped the ball tonight, how is that of any result to them. It's not at all. These rules have not been thought out and the media have got their wish, they wanted Melbourne to be hamstrung but forgot the NRL needed them to be the crown jewel. The claim that some teams have just adapted is BS, no some teams just aren't officiated the same, some teams are just flush with cap bursting talent and oh they happen to be the same teams. This game will not survive scorelines of 50 to 6 every week. Fans turn up to games because they feel like any side on their day can win, now we have to think about who is the ref, what darling team your playing and what has happened in the media this week. I really don't know how long I can keep watching this game for. [/QUOTE]
