Zarrin’s a cool name isn’t it

It’s an arbitrary thing . We’ll thoroughly check one incident while everything else is on the ref ( or repeat if you win ) . It’s a bit like a game show with the ref saying ‘ challenge it , challenge if you like ‘ . And as with much to do with the VR some are still opinion , wrong and engender argument among the commentators . Ashley Klein the other day said a strip when no way was it . All of this minute scrutiny and technological interference ever increasing just infects the game imo . Players more and more are playing to the eye in the sky as well

It just shouldn’t happen , but it seems to a lot . It’s not West Yorkshire there’s only 2 clubs within 100 miles so it shouldn’t be hard … if you want to

Good hard old school centre . That’s a shock

Indeed , often there’s an imbalance in terms of the rules being enforced depending on if you’re in possession or not . I’ve wrote about that before . In the NRL taking out the marker gets a ‘ go back and play the ball ‘ . Why ? Here if you move off the mark a ref says ‘ don’t move off the mark ‘ . Funnily enough when you’re running the clock down you can slow the ptb down as much as you want. Also if you take a penalty or restart from the wrong place or there’s men in front you shouldn’t be able to do it again . And you shouldn’t be able to run yards forward before kicking it . And don’t ignore offsides at kickoffs

100% . Ours is a physical contact sport , avoiding contact by throwing yourself to the floor should be an immediate penalty . It happens way to much and looks awful . Even more so when the defender gets penalised for to rough treatment on a ball carrier just lying on the ground . I also don’t think touching the ball when making a tackle should be six again , just about every other occasion not playing at the ball is ruled as such . We need to follow the NRL rules on downtown from kicks and blockers from kicks . Six agains irritate me in some instances . I see the positives but I’d say an awful lot come very early on in the tackle count and they’re deliberate and cynical but it’s just not a punishment . Teams swallow it . Near the line you should be able to kick at goal and more sin bins should be used . We should scrap the VR but we won’t . So it should be pared right back . It shouldn’t judge obstructions or anything that’s still opinion or subjective and be factual like touchdowns only ( goals in football to ) . Players play to the VR to - as in staying down for pens . If you do that you should have to go off for 10 minutes you’re obviously injured . There’s several other things I’d change to

By the way I’ve just been rewatching the 85 Cup Final highlights and Hull had one of the most iconic strips in rugby league history with those black n white hoops why would they ever change that .In fact looking at that game same could be said about Wigan . NRL sides rarely seem to overly change a design
-
Yes as an impartial Everton fan they weren’t clear cut
-
None of those Forest pens were clearcut , and i say that as an impartial observer .

He must be really out of favour as the saints winger opposite Makinson is quite rubbish
-
Cogger Gamble and Hastings are all pretty average . Hes just shifting them around like deckchairs . Gamble is doubly average . Pryce should be in there anyway they are way to one dimensional . Ponga may be out now so there’s no excuse really they look a pretty poor side needing more xfactor
