Exactly. The examples they used could simply be penalised.
I can see it now. They change this rule, everyone talks about how great it is, and then 4 rounds in to next season every game with a 2 point gaps sees 5 rucks up the middle then a chip and chase... followed by the kicker taking a soccer-like dive.

It's like when they tell us that Golden Point is there to make the game more exciting. Yep - because everyone LOVES watching footy when the defence is offside, there are 4 NFL-style blockers at the play the ball and neither team ever makes an effort to actually score a try. I wish the whole 80 was like that!!!

It's usually not great footy but high stakes between two closely matched teams usually has some excitement.
Not how I want to see anyone playing the first 80 but I don't mind it

Benji Marshall to be signed to a 5 year coaching deal for the West Tigers - taking over from Tim Sheens in 2025.

Timmy, Benji and Robbie. Yeah, they might have won a GF together but they've been responsible for years and years of misery at that shithole.

So funny.
Just need Steve Roach as the forwards coach. "Tuck it under your wing and bite down hard on your mouthguard".

Why the **** would you lock in a rookie coach for 5 years. Don’t believe there would be to much competition for Benjis coaching to have to offer a 5 year deal.

The west tigers board should seriously sack themselves. They’re an absolute joke 😂

They're taking this tiger town reality show thing a bit too far...

I honestly can only wish Benji success

I actually thought you guys were joking but just went and checked.

That is completely bizarre.
