Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3664550, member: 9052"] If you get rid of the 6 again (they never will because Sydney media have talked it up so much) and penalties come back, then refs will be able to call time off and warn the captain that the next one will be off. I feel like we're seeing more penalties than ever at the goal line (ref just waving his arm for 5 mins straight), but we saw more sin binnings prior to six agains... because if the defensive team gave away 2-3 cynical penalties inside their 10m they'd get a warning. Now a warning can only come when there is a break in the play, which is only ever a forced drop out, pass knock down, a try (except the ball is then away from the try line and the ref gets amnesia) or the attacking team is forced into an error (which they don't get the warning on the back of). Goal line defence has become a fucking joke and teams are finding it harder to score, because 'good' teams just spend the entire time offside and daring the ref to penalise them... eventually it basically becomes too many tackles for an attacking team and they end up making a mistake. With penalties they had a chance to reset every time, take the two if they wanted it, etc. there were breaks in play instead of tackle after tackle and getting frustrated by offside defences in their face.
