An attacking player can palm a defender directly in the face, Yet if a defenders tackle bounces up off the ball or chest it’s now a sin bin. It’s another rule that will be inconsistently policed.And will unfairly influence the outcome of games

Vlandys has killed the sport. Brings in the restart rule to reduce penalties out of the game yet brings in another rule that creates way more penalties. May as well make it OzTag. The game we knew and loved is officially dead.

Agreed. Trying to make the game Idiot proof only to create more Idiots in the process.

1/3 the way into a season and a decision was made to change the way the game is officiated which resulted in 8 sin bins in 2 consecutive games.
I think its the most alarming thing ive ever seen in the NRL.
Its beyond comprehension really yet this will just be another blip along the way.

This is the perfect example of being reactive instead of being proactive, obviously they have no idea how to run this sport, it’s become pathetic, yet the fans have to suffer watching one man’s incompetence ruin this sport!

What the fuck was that tonight? It certainly wasn't rugby league. Some kind of hybrid league tag pc cancel culture claptrap. Something tells me Broncos supporters ......absolutely CRITICAL to the success or failure of a "magic round" would not of been impressed to pay their money to turn up and see 2 of their players sin binned at the same time for some innocuous contact.....allowing Manly to put on 3 converted tries against 11 men. For goodness sake....can they just fucken leave the game alone....have consistent rules for the whole season....not change week to week in response to some random phone call from some administrator with a pc directive....we are gonna police this or that this weekend....IM SICK OF IT.

What is their endgame? What exactly are these idiots trying to achieve? Do they even have a goal in mind, or are they just changing things on the fly? 10 mins in the bin for accidental minimal contact to the head is a fucking joke. Why did they not even consider 5 mins?

They've fucked with the rules enough as it is to make the game unwatchable and now this.. Who wants to see 13 on 11 or 12 on 12?

The game was already too fast as it was. Now there will be even more blowouts than before. I don't know what more Vlandy's has to do to get fired.

Once again the silence from the clubs, players and coaches to not complain about these changes and how much of a joke they are is the most alarming thing. Until they oppose and challenge the NRL, they'll keep tinkering and ruining the sport.

I can't believe they can make these changes mid season without clubs voting on it or having a say but that's how amateur the NRL is and Vlandy's runs the sport like a mad dictator.

Probably the other stakeholders, whom Vlad and Abdo consider more important than the clubs, coaches and players, were consulted...and the clubs hands are tied behind their backs.....who wants their ref police against your team, even further influencing outcomes? :(

They should have introduced a 5 minute bin years ago. If they're going to sin bin 4-6 players a game for every little penalty, then they need a 5 minute bin. Even then, the game will still be a joke. Fire Vlandy's please!

The only thing we can do to make a difference is cancel Foxtel/Kayo subscriptions and stop watching on 9 or attending games. I'm cancelling Kayo after today's game. If everyone stops watching, then they'll have to make changes and get rid of Vlandy's.

Still, if numerous clubs opposed it publicly, it would put more pressure on the NRL. The silence is deafening from the clubs, coaches media etc. Until they voice their opinions, Vlandy's will keep doing whatever he wants.

Wonder if we will see a 9’s game this weekend. The way they are going wouldn’t surprise me.
Stop fucking with the game before we have no game at all.

It takes time for all the negative comments to feed back to these guys. Numbskulls. If fans start complaining about, and stop supporting, the betting agencies, then these changes will stop immediately.

Up to the fans to force change upon them, if fans want the true nature of the game restored.

Cancelling Kayo wont help that much probably? Not sure. Its the betting revenue losses that will have the most impact...and whinging on social media :grinning:

Go on the NRLol sites and have your say everybody if you feel strongly about this.
