Warriors and Broncos both being 2-2 highlights how badly a big chunk of the NRL is going at the moment Deadset been about 3 teams playing well so far this season and somehow 2 of them are the Cowboys and Sharks

Genuinely impressive that the Tigers have been through 4 different coaches and 100odd players in the last decade and they still can’t stop the embarrassment This 0-4 start ranks somewhere up there with Gal kicking a fuck-you field goal to sink their finals chances in 2019

Honourable mentions to when they had the doors blown off by the eventual 15th place Cowboys at Leichhardt in Tommy’s game, and the time they lost to the Titans after they went nearly 2 years without a win

Just as we all suspected; the Cowboys are tied 1st with the Panthers in for/against after 3 games

Glad this kind of footy is back - before the peanuts at the NRL started with all this rule change shithousery the first few rounds used to be upsets galore as the shit teams who don’t realise they’re bad yet start the season swinging with confidence

Walking back the 6-again at the extremes has already helped make a tighter game - who knew enforcing a harsher penalty against good teams storming offside and beating the shit out of someone in their own half would lead to more competitive footy?

Just dropping in to say this is an excellent campaign from the NRL - always thought there was a market for the game to expand into philosophy Expecting to see lots of poets and beret wearing theorists flocking to watch this weekend

Six again? More like 2.3 again NRL teams are only conceding an extra 2.3 tackles per set restart, with almost two thirds of them occuring on tackles 1 or 2. Is that really a sufficient punishment for holding down in the ruck or straying offside? rugbyleagueeyetest.com/2021/…

Six again? More like 2.3 again - The Rugby League Eye Test

Another week, another set restart post here on the Eye Test. If nothing else, I know my brand and how to stay in my lane. Last week I mentioned my holy grail would be pinpointing what tackle and...

Once again the biggest problem with this crackdown is how often a defender displays correct tackling technique and through circumstances outside of his control ends up in the sinbin If the point of the crackdown is to change behaviour, why is correct technique being binned?

Or have we just landed at a place where even in situations where the defender did everything correctly, he will still end up in the bin through circumstances outside of his control?

Just to clarify, Paul Green slotted in one of the worst wing defenders, Kyle Feldt, to move Val Holmes to fullback and keep the incumbent fullback, AJ Brimson, on the bench to play back-up hooker (a position he’s never played) to replace the one and only hooker he picked

Welcome to Paul Greens world baby Just wait until he names a prop at halfback and we’ll really be cooking

Paul Green masterclass well underway here; keeps his best fullback on the bench to come on to replace the only hooker he picked who hasn’t player 80 all year #ThankYouPaul

But hey, don’t worry, he put serial lazy defender Feldt in the starting side to move Holmes to fullback and keep Brimson on the bench

Paul Green with one last gift to the people of Townsville To think we were only a Coen Hess at second row for the full experience

This might be surprising - but I’m a pretty big fan of Origin being moved to 900m from my house

Origin in Townsville will be proper mayhem Probably be the most raucous crowd in Australian sport, people are underestimating how many certified lunatics will be in attendance

Remember 7 weeks ago when the Cowboys and Sea Eagles were apparently 2 of the 7 worst teams in NRL history? Are we ready to have a proper conversation about these new rules yet?

This Penrith side is easily the best regular season team I’ve ever seen, I can’t remember anyone making other quality teams look as helpless as they do on the regular

The NRL can point to whatever cherry-picked data they want but without question in my mind the new rules have made it more difficult for tacklers to administer proper technique with how often defences are back-peddling and unable to establish position before making contact

The NRL will point to this study in Union, but the increase in reds and yellows weren’t also combined with fundamental rule changes which increased the risk of head contact Increasing punishment while also supporting rule changes that increase incidence is not the right option
