Message: [QUOTE="HarryAllan7, post: 3501209, member: 9372"] 2 Things since I've been watching (Since 2000): 1) Bellamy and the Storm: Their insidious, concerted effort to bend the rules both off the field with a second set of books and on the field with their grubby wrestling tactics to slow down the play the ball, muddy the ruck, tangle up players on the ground, manipulate the referee and outright injure the ball carriers transformed the game for the worse and it's never recovered 2) V'Landys: Ushered in an era of ridiculous, unnecessary and convoluted rules which have turned the game into an absolute mess to referee properly and yet simultaneously given referees total discretionary control to decide games / swing momentum with '6 again' calls which go completely unscrutinised, unrecorded and even diehard fans can't fathom why they're called. Combine these rules with absolutely pathetic over-refereeing where even accidental or light, harmless contact (or even hard legal hits) are met with soft, game-ruining sin bins / penalties which encourage players to stay down and milk like soccer, and the game has never been in a worse position.
