NRL The Sinking Ship and Souths

[Guest]

To get the game back to where it should be 3 things need to happen IMO.

1. No video ref, no miked up refs, no slow mo & 1 ref only.
2. It has to be refereed properly but what ever position a player is picked in he has to play in, in other words all forwards have to be in the scrums.
3. Teams can only run 1 out once in a set of 6 & it has to be passed by 2 or more players 3 times out of every 6.

The only difference between Bill Pulver and David Smith is that David Smith has never dudded a mentally unstable man on a land deal.

Their incompetency is radiant.

Souths play a power game, big forwards running through the middle with very quick play the balls and it's fact, they have the biggest forwards in the comp. Most teams to combat this would have to go to extremes to slow the big Burgi and their pack down. This involved slowing play the balls down by leg pulls , hands on ball, off side in the ruck and any other method designed to slow them down. It's my belief that Souths incurred most of their penalties around the ruck and due to these reasons. When you add this to their mistake free game plan and discipline in defence, they come up trumps in penalties conceded and received.

Souths get so many of their ruck penalties by either walking off the mark which leads to 2 things happening. The markers being caught not square or defenders holding on to stop the player with the ball continuing to progress forward after being held.

I am interested in the discipline in defence theory, they are one of the worst for rolling players on to their backs after the tackle being completed. It also helps when you can whack players in the chops and not incur a penalty. Such as SB on SBW and tackles by Teo on Josh Jackson and Sam Perrett which were looked at by the video ref and allowed to play on. You must be their media manager, the spin is unbelievable.

They were the best defensive side all year as we were last year. You don't have to be a spin doctor to work out that their positive stats all start from their good defence. They wrestle better than any team in the NRL and they had the best effective tackle stats to boot.

You mean like the 200 penalties we received last year. You're a dribbler trying to defend the undefendable.

We were the best defensive team last year and also the most penalized team. So somehow your argument just falls apart in one almighty heap.

Seeing you put it thatw ay then Souths should be stripped of their Premiership for blatantly flaunting the NRL concussion rule

more chance of Isil coverting to Catholicism............NRL are still pulling themselves over the fairytale and in reality the Circle jerk is liklely to last a for another season or two although it wouldnt surprise me to see the Dogs / Broncos getting an NRL saloon ride next year.....
