So NRL has done almost nothing about the wrestle for so many years, despite numerous people and bodies, including medical professionals, requesting something be done. But oh no, Bigger-than-the-game Souffs suddenly see it won't benefit them and have a whinge to the NRL about it. Just watch Red-n-Greenturd jump to it now.

Fucking hate Souffs so much.

the bulldogs should wrestle so the nrl can crack down on wrestling

we fixed so many things up in rugby league like the 20m restart for balls caught in goal
It's funny but it's true. Just like our run around play we used that was successful for us. Then the NRL went no, not allowed now.

There was a NRL survey with questions regarding the wrestle and play the ball speed after last season (as well as multiple other things). Either not enough people were concerned or the NRL just sees the situation differently and doesn't want to revert. It's a bit silly it's coming up now two weeks before the season starts (literally too late to do anything now). Hopefully something the NRL can address for 2021.
That's the NRL for you, they have an whole off season to make changes but as usual they wait until the start of the competition and will change rules on the fly during the season. A bunch of Apes could run the NRL better, and they are renowned for throwing their feces.

Things normally happen in threes. Bargeass medical retirement...Latrell signs on the dotted line and of course Souffs we will stop the wrestle after promising to do so for the last few years just for you because you asked us nicely for it.. While we are at it what about another premiership???

Yep, they were the originators of it. Another reason to hate the Mexicans, they ruined rugby league with all their tactics.

Or was it when bellyache took over as coach?????
Yes you are right it was when Bellyache started coaching the Storm that they started using the grapple tackles and slowing down the play of the ball.

Is there anything else Souths want? Just ask and you shall receive.. What a farce this comp has become.

Wrestling has been a scourge on the game for years and needs to be addressed. But consider the source and their motives. They have a small pack and a quick backline. They want an open game.

I didn't see this study and such a regard for the spirit of the code from Souths to eradicate wrestling when Maguire was coach and they wrestled more and better than any other team on their way to winning the comp??

I'm sure if the Titans or Tigers sent this exact same study and findings through and asked for all of these changes that the NRL would be so accommodating..

If the refs called held, hands off, assp momentum stopped, or when attacking player dominated, then the wrestle would fade out and we could have quick ptb.

This is the area they need to clean up from biased refs who can swing advantage that way.
