Markers not square but getting away with it has always been a pet hate of mine.

Constant rule changes by an administration who in the main have never been involved at the top level as a player, coach or club administrator.
sione katoa always stands next to the marker, i'm surprised he doesn't give away more penalties then he already does

Patting each other on the bum and saying it does t matter when they make a horrendous mistake. Also laughing and chatting to the opposition after you get beaten by 40 points. You might have been room mates with the guy coming up in footy but he just destroyed your team you can call him on your own time not sit with him and have a fucking catch up about old times in front of the fans.

Seeing souths get looked after by the refs every week for last 8 years
The comeback win against the titans is a good example of this. absolutely flogged at half time then got every penatly, 6 again and 50/50 call until they were back in front. god forbid souths lose a game!

Alison Mitchell is the best commentator by far.
No bs. Sounds good. Very descriptive of every ball and the positions on the field and bowler's/batter's tactics.

Structure. Can’t stand watching boring structured footy, oh and bombs just because we can.

The "tackle restart" and this insistent need to make the game as fast as possible.

How many rule changes the NRLOL can come up with in a season?
Have a look at t the history of rule changes & then look at the changes since 1997 - they had to provide a link for several years of rule changes.

where do you start? salary cap, refereeing, administration, media, there is SSSSSSOOOOO much!

The manipulation of the competition, although the AFL is worse having engineered almost every premiership this century.

She seems pretty knowledgeable.
Female commentators/broadcasters. Completely ruined cricket too.
Lara Pitt is horrendous. She is pretty much the only one that is an absolute waste of time. Don't mind the rest apart from her, she's the female version of Hooper when it comes to knowing fuck all about the game.

Many things I hate, but # 1 by some margin is the forward passes out of dummy half, CSmith was the expert at it and the others are just copying. It’s just so farkin obvious, there is nowhere to hide, the DH is not running forward so there is no forward float excuse. It’s a forward pass, left the hands going forward, end of story.

This year has to be 6 again call , can quickly make such a lopsided game. Refs seem to hit one team harder than other.
Forward passes from dummy half has just become out of control with certain teams

Lara Pitt has an annoying voice, just like Erin Molan. Can't stand listening to either of them talk.
