Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3382219, member: 1899"] Here's the thing that gets me... The whole complexion of the game changed in one passage brought about by the new rules. Off two set restarts, Brisbane spread the ball around before going for a settler with Palasia who over-cooks the play and loses the ball attempting to spin out of the tackle presumably for an offload. Palasia makes the tackle, Paix arrives marginally late and the referee decides that at that very moment this has to be a penalty and Brisbane deserve to be punished for such an atrocity. Frustrated and annoyed at Edwards' heckling, Palasia gives Edwards a shove who is getting in his personal space to give him a gobful. Edwards pushes back and somehow it's 12 vs. 12. Off the back of a modified game, Penrith go back to back to back and it's virtually game over. We've seen the game make changes to be more entertaining. I fail to see what was entertaining about any of that. I don't understand what was so different about those rucks compared to some others the Broncos dealt with and I still don't think the set restarts add to the spectacle. If anything it just makes players more frustrated. The less said about the presentation the better. From close-ups of players while the play is in action to commentators spitting out useless bits of trivia the game really is becoming more and more of a turn off. [/QUOTE]
