Message: [QUOTE="Slippin Jimmy, post: 3133380, member: 9330"] A couple of things come to mind. First is that my gut feeling towards the rule is heavily influenced by the fact we have absolutely failed to cope with the change, so I'm naturally biased against it. I'll give it another month or so before I come down fully against it. By then hopefully we won't be giving away twice as many 6-agains as the next worst team. The second point is that I can already see signs of a backlash in the media brewing. Pretty much all the channel 9 guys take their cue from Gus, and in a recent article he has flagged nit-picking 6-agains as an issue that is starting to surface. All it will take is Gus to be on commentary for a Panthers or Roosters game where they're on the wrong end of a boat load of 6-agains and then he and all of his sheep on 9 will be singing the same tune about referees going too far with it. When that happens the NRL, being as reactive as they always are, will tell the referees to settle down and we'll be back to something resembling normality. [/QUOTE]
