Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3172509, member: 9518"] You can thank the Storm for this little conundrum. Bellyache and co quickly realised that it was more advantageous to give a six again call early as opposed to a penalty as it allowed them to reset their defence without allowing the opposition the opportunity to get out of their own red zone. a number of teams have cottoned on to this and quickly adopted the same tactic. The refs just seem to act like automatons. Surely they are capable of distinguishing this rort on the 1st and 2nd tackle and use their discretion to penalise it. Unfortunately, our guys have been so flogged by this 6 again rule they are becoming gun-shy to wrestle or even linger in the tackle for anything more than a second. It has resulted in our defence structures looking like something out of a game of touch footy. Finally, on the bunker stuff up. If the NswRL comment on this they'll say it was an unfortunate mix-up and right it off as "these things are a one-off". We were still so much in that game and that call crucially turned the momentum. Remember the Canberra game when the bunker stuffed up our call? Just another "one-off". Funny how these "one-offs" seem to go against us repeatedly and make them NOT a one -off. Does anyone have V'lander's email addy? [/QUOTE]
