    Graham Annesley weekly football briefing - Round 10 - NRL

    In today's briefing Annesley made reference to a media release on May 5: Communication to NRL clubs and match officials - NRL

    The intention was to make it clear that teams and officials knew what was coming for Round 10. Just note though that the media release clearly states Round 9.

    From Round Nine of the NRL Telstra Premiership, Match Officials have been reminded to take minimal tolerance for avoidable contact with the head or neck.

    While incidental or minor contact will continue to be penalised and potentially placed on report, on-field officials and the NRL Bunker have been encouraged to use the sin bin or send-off mechanisms for contact deemed careless or reckless and involving a significant degree of force around the head and neck.
    NRL 2021: Round 9 judiciary charges - David Fifta faces two week ban, Dylan Brown could miss three - NRL
    Player Marata Niukore
    Charge/incident High tackle - careless


    Either the on-field and video officials have absolutely no idea what constitutes a careless tackle, or they intentionally ignore the directive to send Niukore to the sin bin.

    I'll go with the latter.

        I notice using knees in breaking someone's ribs causing a collapsed lung was not part of the brief.

          True. The brief said nothing about an intentional swinging leg that could have broken a jaw, arm, or ribs.

                  Their silly rules have removed the fight and competition within the game.
                  13+ winning margins are at their highest level since 1995. At 58.8% of games, this is 10% higher than the 2nd highest in the last decade which was in 2012.
                  0-6 winning margins are also the lowest they've been in the last decade.

                  Friday night footy rated below 2 gardening shows and hey if V'landys and Abdo continue this rubbish I might just go and see what all the fuss is about

                    How has the game become about that fool PVL? A complete nobody, without a clue about the game, that argues for the sake of it. If this was the MOST important thing in football, why was it reduced to a memo and email to clubs? Do you think that’s how real, well run organisations communicate about their most critical issues? They don’t! This imbecile is making it up as he goes along. He’s got it completely wrong, he knows as much, and his style is to double down on the idiocy so people think this was the strategy all along. We’ve seen it before. He will ruin the game, even more than he has. Every fan going into this week’s game knows that it’s now a lucky dip with that smirking idiot defending the indefensible irrespective of the outcome. It’s up to the fans to remove this dope. Hopefully the players’ association will play a role. This can’t go on. Remove PVL NOW!

                        Not quite. He said at the presser, "Hopefully we can find the happy medium."

                          V'Landys has made some diabolical calls. The game has never looked more like amateur hour. Or some form of fast food. You get a bloke who scores 9 tries in two weeks. Is anyone seriously going to argue that that is how it is supposed to be? It's becoming hit and giggle like T20 cricket, with blokes scoring 80 runs off 35 balls. It's just rubbish. The game has to be an even contest between attack and defence. At the moment, everything is skewed towards the attacking team. Why? Because numbskulls like V'Landys think that's what the rank and file punter wants: tries, tries, tries. Well, I've never been as bored with rugby league as I have been this year -- mostly because of tries tries tries and no defence defence defence. It's soft. It's weak. It's junk food. It can't be taken seriously.

                              To be fair, they killed our cricket score on the weekend by sending Sitili off.

                              Oh wait... we still won by 14, ay

                              Yep on a serious note, that's what I hope this does. As Robbo said... the implementation and consultation processes have been absolute shyte. However, it's a WIP and the thinking is correct (i.e. stamp out dog shots to the head).
