The automatic sinbin for a hip drop clearly ended when Annesley came out after the Storm/Broncos game and said if there's any doubt it should be placed on report only (that said Carrigan's hip drop last year was a bad one and is one of the very few that should be eliminated)

Except I don't think his one last year was textbook either, not at the time, anyway. The damage was caused by the other 2 tacklers driving him backwards, otherwise there would have been no incident or injury. The NRL have just justified themselves by revising the definition to be what happened with Carrigan, but it wasn't the case at the time.

The 2 other tacklers had control of the tackle before Carrigan came in late to bring the ball carrier to the ground. That's the type of hip drop that is avoidable and can be penalised out of the game, unlike the total accidents like the Mam/Haas/Carrigan etc tackles seen this year

The Bunker can't rule on forward passes; nor can it rule on anything other than the final play leading to a 'try'. It could see a howler in an earlier play and still have to award a try. The rules governing the Bunker are flawed; not to mention that the Vidiot in the Bunker makes more mistakes than Aloiai.

---

Talking 'bout my g-g-generation

They can rule on foul play which is causing the game issues. Also judging by some of the audio that's available the on-field referees are being coached on the field.

The issue with that one wasn't the tackle, it was that he got four weeks when another tackle the same week which was basically exactly the same didn't even get penalised.

In regards to the shameful sin bins during the week, I think that new rules are needed to stop the game turning into a soccer fest

1. All apparent “injured” players have a forced 10 mins assessment off the field

2. Any player caught faking their injuries or milking for a penalty are either sin binned for 10 mins immediately or if reviewed after the game has finished, they side loses 2 competition points regardless of whether they won or lost.

We need REAL disincentives to hit clubs otherwise it becomes a complete farce for the NRL. Compare our sport to Rugby Union or even AFL; the game’s growth is laughable compared to those.

I for one, am against giving the referees more subjective rules that they have to navigate as they show they just can't get it done.

But I agree that something needs to change. Maybe just fine the players after the game, the players who are doing that will be down 5-10k after 3 or 4 weeks, they won't be willing to do it for very much longer

I would keep sin bins for really deliberate bad play.

For technique or fatigue errors just put them on report and sort it out later.

Penalise the player (fines and suspensions) rather than penalising the contest and fans. Way to many sin bins in the game at the moment.

Umm Marata Nuikora being pulled up 5 plays after the incident was what started this whole thing.

He's talking about last year when Patty Carrigan was the first one sent off for a hip drop and then subsequently suspended for 4-6 weeks. He was the first.

This is how it used to be and should be but as usual the NRL had a kneejerk reaction to the "BuT tHe TeAm ThAt SuFfErEd ThE pEnAlTy GeTs No BeNeFiT fRoM sUsPeNsIoN aFtEr ThE fAcT" media wah wahs.

A penalty is suffice for a technique or fatigue error

And not being able to break the laws of physics as well, given any swinging motion these days seems to result in a penalty...as long as the other player stays down of course.

Brads got a point. Some teams are getting away with absolute murder this year. Canberra got gifted two points

Bailey Simonsson wasn't charged by the MRC.

They must have a better angle of it because from the hard camera it doesn't look great. No doubt Simonsson lands on Rapana with his back, but what may have saved Bailey was that he rolls so his hip ends up hitting the turf.

If the NRL:
1. Got rid of Vlandys and Abdo
2. Got rid of six agains
3. Got rid of these ridiculous crackdowns
4. Got rid of Annersley
5. Made the bunker rule ONLY on tries and captain's challenges and all their communications with refs must be made open to all
6. Completely overhauled the MRC with people trained unconnected to any league team, even league itself
7. Stopped rewarding diving
8. Actually refereed fairly
9. Got rid of gambling connections
10. Rewarded clubs who develop talent far more


Then I would likely be back on good terms with this sport

---

That's a good list, hard to argue with any of that.
