Seems kinda unfair that the Tigers only get one reserve this week

Hows about this ref, he got more letters in his name than trys the dogs have scored this year

I was always still going to back Broncos to win despite having Reynolds out but in saying that, I thought Newcastle were rather unfairly treated last night, the Broncos along with Melbourne & Penrith always get treated better then other teams & more home games then anyone. That was a clear obstruction by Broncos but got ignored by the bunker, most other teams the bunker would have called that an obstruction last night. Gagai when he scored his try in the 1st half, that should have been a try without a doubt. The bunker are just terrible & it's killing the game.

They got shafted hard. Gagai scored and got it taken off him incorrectly IMO and then Broncos got allowed one incorrectly when the black and white obstruction rule suddenly went grey... or broncos brown

It was just absolutely ridiculous I thought, Gagai clearly had ball control & a good amount of downward pressure, I don't know what the bunker were thinking. Onto the obstruction, surely despite it being more then 40 metres out it should still be counted as obstruction?

Then the magic round last weekend, all games being at Suncorp but then you'd think it makes sense to have that down as a Broncos proper home game rather then being put down as an away game. It had it down as Broncos away then Manlys home game against them. That is why Broncos clearly get more home games then anyone. As much as I don't like Manly that means they've got to play them at Suncorp both times.

You can complain about the second bit as much as you like but teams get to nominate to be the home team.
Manly knew what they were doing and values 250k (or whatever the payout is to home team) over a proper home game.
Other teams are intentionally giving that advantage to Broncos for money.

Alright if that is the case that clubs will get money for that then fair enough, I just had no idea re that side about it, just always thought it had nothing to do with the clubs. I'll forget about that part then sorry. Thought because it would have been at Suncorp Broncos despite the away team technically Broncos would have got more then Manly.

Just saw a tweet saying Benny Elias reckons teams should get double points in magic round. I don't think I've ever heard a worse RL take.

That decision was a disgrace

Benny reckons it’s not rocket surgery …

Enough said …
Stupid.

What I would like the NRL to do is expand on the Magic Round Idea with some double/tripple header's. Every year could have some Super Sydney Saturday's 3 games in a row all Sydney Clubs one stadium, make a big event out of it. With the Dolphins a couple double headers in Brisbane throughout the year with all QLD clubs would work well too.

Unfortunately not even close to Benny's worst take. Surprised he's not the star of NRL360.
