This season is the biggest joke

[Northern Beaches dog]

This season is an absolute joke.

The rules were changed after 2 rounds which greatly altered the fabric of the game.
Some teams (Warriors and now Storm) are consistently on the road and cannot see there family and friends. Maybe even for up to 5 months.
Some teams can play at there home grounds while others cannot. I know that is changing, but not for the Storm and Warriors.
Absolute garbage

Better than no footy at all. I still think the best teams will rise to the top. By the time it's crunch time I also think a lot of restrictions will be lifted.

Nasheed here,
All due respect why do you care if storm or warriors are playing more away games?

I've got sympathy for the Warriors but the Storm can go and get fucked.
The NRL is a joke every year, come finals time certain teams get to play at their home ground yet other teams are forced to play home finals at neutral grounds. There is no fairness in this comp every year, this year an uneven comp is pretty much unavoidable IMO.

Well thats what they agreed to. If they want their fat pay checks they have to travel. Alot of people doing it tuff one way or another. They could always quit league and get a job at the local abattoir, Woollies distribution centre etc.

Take it or leave it, sacrifices had to be made, cardboard crowds freak me out, the ref deciding six again for no apparent reason freaks me out and the whole thing is weird

 

[Freakzilla]

I LOVE the new rules. Warriors and Storm aren't good enough to win it anyway.

Geez you'd think we were sending thse guys off to war on the other side if the world the way people are going on about this!

They're professional athletes and get paid damn well. Shit, they should consider themselves lucky they're in a competition at the moment that allows them to get paid at all!

Yes, the Sydney teams have an advantage at the moment. Shit happens and we have to just deal with what we have.

I'm happy with the rule changes and it is better for the game. Should they have waited until next year to being them in? Yes 100%. Its done now though and we're not going back, so we gotta deal with it and just get over it!

Is what it is, at least there’s some nrl being played.!!!

 

[Dannyboi88]

I dont know what there moaning about the majority of these players were crying poor 2 weeks into the lock down the nrl vlandys worked hard to get the comp back on track and now alot of them are moaning about having to travel they get paid good money get looked after.

ive been working away interstate and have t seen my wife and kids in 3 months i dont complain

 

[Riggs80]

Just the home ground advantage , whilst there has been no crowds I don’t see the advantage any teams get playing at home (really only affects interstate teams with travel that is it)
