Re: NRL scrap penalties for holding down : Tue Jun 09, 2020 6:48 pm  
My intial thoughts after 2 full rounds is that it has definitely kept the ball in play longer and made the game quicker. Just wonder how long it will be before teams start giving away 'strategic' (ie when they're goosed) penalities like ball stealing where they have to blow a penalty to give themselves time to reset. It is encouraging the quicker smaller players to run more in the middle at tiring props. Just worry that that might be an unintended consequence

Re: NRL scrap penalties for holding down : Tue Jun 09, 2020 11:33 pm  
Warriors coach Kearny has called out teams exploiting the rule by tactically lying on early in the tackle count. Normally you would get a 30m boost up field. and a fresh set vs 1 extra tackle, where you'll get maybe a 10m gain if you're lucky against a fully set defence.

At the risk of it becoming ever more complex, 1st tackle infringments should maybe be a penalty.

Overall though, the rule has made NRL fantastic to watch. I find it less frustrating than a penalty when your team gets done for it, and yet very satisfying when you get one your way.

The warriors tend to have received penalties on tackle 1 and have given them away on tackle 4/5.

Has the constant changing of rules resulted in making the game more attractive to the extent that it has resulted in large increases of crowd support, especially younger supporters?

The answer is NO!

i said this last week, the warriors (panthers?) game last week was the first one i'd sat down and watched properly, second half in consecutive sets they got 6 more early in the count in their own half, they were begging for a penalty to get them up the field

Is there any sport in the world that has? The trend for many years now has been for people to watch on TV (as they are so well catered for) rather than attend live sport.

If that is so, why then have many of the bigger football clubs increasing their capacities with the building of new stadiums or increasing the capacity of their present stadium?

...is the exception that proves the rule. Elite level football remains both rich and popular.

I hope the tweak the rule if they introduce it. If they restart the set on the first then they should either give the attacking team another 10m or let them kick for touch.
