Message: [QUOTE="Organix, post: 3126474, member: 8187"] I said all of this from the first 20 minutes of the Parra game. I said it on Reddit and obviously got told that I'm just butt-hurt. The consistency is not there. I don't think it is a conspiracy but to yield 3 6-again penalties early is a death sentence. It's like starting a marathon with hill sprints. There was no way Parramatta only had 1 ruck infringement in that game. There was no way they could only yield 1 penalty. As an aside, 7 tackle sets for a slightly too long grubber to the in-goal is not why that rule was put in place and shifts the momentum away from the attacking side. It is too high a punishment. 6 again from the 20m is fine. The rule was made to stop Soward flogging the ball dead from 50-60m out so that they could get a set defensive line in the opposition half. NRL make dumb rules and don't think them through fully. The new 6 again rule brings us closer to Rugby and makes 0 sense when the defence must retreat 10 m with 0 rest. In Rugby it's only last man's feet. Totally easier to defend the phase and prevent the roll on. The 6 again advantage is far too great. Edit: also agree that it gives the ref far too much influence on the game. [/QUOTE]
