Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3652614, member: 8255"] Another huge factor in my state of mind about the game tbh. I don't even have confidence that the best team wins every week anymore, how fucked is that? If one team gets a run of penalties early that momentum can be crippling to the entire game - like Origin II. Sure, it's on the team to arrest the momentum, but it should not be happening in the first place. The games are quite clearly managed and it takes away so much from the spectacle. That and the cynical play from the usual clubs. Storm, Penrith, et al. Stand offside every play knowing they won't get pulled up constantly. The garbage in the ruck. Again, we suck at this stuff so it rubs me ever further the wrong way but it's all so against the spirit of the game, allowing it is unforgivable. I'm not even going to start on the inconsistency. It's death by a thousand cuts and I'm at about 998. I watched the Broncos v Manly game with a mate who's a Manly fan and we spent more time talking than watching the footy. And most of the talk was about the above and how the game's becoming almost unwatchable. Neither of us were particularly interested in the game or even the outcome. Both rusted-on fans, heavily invested in the game most of our lives, he runs the work tipping comp. I dunno, maybe the Vlandys target demographic is 20-something year old girls. Wait, nope, can't be with the way Reece has been treated on field this year. It's all just bullshit and I'm done. [/QUOTE]
