Some interesting comments in this article. Headline is "closer games and higher attendance", but there are some comments there about ball in play and duration.
Duration of the Sharks/Bulldogs trial was ~95 minutes excluding the drinks breaks and half time.
We're not that dumb NRL.

Maybe the first one is believable. That is consistent with what happened in the trials. About 12 minutes out of each 20 was ball in play. This 62.6% number would definitely exclude stopped clock scenarios.
The second one, no freakin' chance. That would mean less than 2 minutes per game of stopped clock, and half time is exactly 10 minutes whistle to whistle.
Duration of the Sharks/Bulldogs trial was ~95 minutes excluding the drinks breaks and half time.

Closest games since 1908 draw record attendances
Games have never been more evenly contested, remain closer for longer and feature more action.

Didn't the Tigers go up there last year and beat them?

The only man I kneel for is Nicho Hynes.
But trust me, I ain't praying down there.

Playing the long game
Is that why he always gets so many run meters? Trying to get away

Who's your most overrated player in the game? No Sharks' players.

Adam Doueihi comes to mind for some reason.
First that comes to mind for me is Dylan Brown. Not saying he's not a good player of course. Just not as good as many commentators believe.

For me cobbo sure will be elite but has some flaws in his game at present but is young so won’t be too nasty. As in a established player easy answer is brooks, I’ll settle on SJ

I've got a few. Luai, Smith, Klemmer, Ponga and Kikau all immediately jump to mind.
