Originally posted by Mad_Rabid_Rooster View PostI think this is a great move and should benefit us. It will greatly impact on teams like the Storm and the Tigers, who I feel have been getting away with laying over our players trying to play the ball quickly for far too long. It is well overdue IMHO.
Right now the only priority should be getting rid of that stupid, unintentional change to the stripping rule that's allowed what are ostensibly yawnion-style gang strips to slow down the ruck.
Lemme guess - they won't award 6 again when a team slows down the ruck by putting a hand on the ball so they can attempt a strip after the completion of the tackle? Just saying. I suspect it's more likely that after a move like this they're gonna say '6 AGAIN ROOSTERS!!!' just as we're being tackled, with us being like 'huuuh... so we actually only get 5 again and no kick? Well done Uncle Pete! Really made use as your 3 month stint as interim CEO...'

The chooks could go back to 1 marker.
what a master stroke from Chris Anderson that was....

Whenever Roosters win a premiership they seem to changes the rules.
After 2013 it was the "Toops jumping for the ball" rule change, also 7 tackles for kicking the ball dead.
Not sure about 2018.
Now after 2019, this rule change.
So, when a player does what Munster did in the 2018 GF, pushed our player down again to slow our play and kill our attacking momentum, ...and was penalised and sin binned, we kicking the goal for 2 points...there won't now be a penalty, won't be a sin bin, and won't be a kick at goal?

the NRL always change the rules and the roosters always wins comps.
coincidence or conspiracy?

Fatigue. The defensive line will crack eventually. Play will resume quicker after the infringement as opposed to a penalty that takes more time.

Don't see that you're going to get terribly fatigued if there's only 3 mins to go and you're able to slow each play the ball down so you can get your line set
