Seems to me the shot-clock on scrum setting has been quietly forgotten about. Is that other posters' impression? Not that I think it's necessary anyway.

Still hating the no jeopardy rule on drop-outs. Worst rule change ever.
 
Why is the bye needed, or considered desirable? 17 teams in the NRL, why can't everyone play everyone else, home and away, that's 32 games. Why this complication?

32 is way too many, there's a stack of squads already who are decimated with injuries.

The contact is too significant to ask them to line up that many games week in and week out.
 
This was odd.

There are 5 genuinely recognised ‘elite’ coaches in the NRL world (even one of them has his critics) and they’re all engaged aside from Tim Sheens and you would have to think the game has gone beyond him now. So it’s not like they could have a ready made replacement. You’ve made a grand final 12 months ago. Your 3 best players have all had significant time off injured and certainly one of them in particular hasn’t recaptured his best form when he has been on the field.

You did everything but win the comp and really there was nothing as a coach you could do to prevent what Nathan Cleary unleashed to turn that result on its head.

Surely that buys you the chance to right the wrongs of this year?

If a coach lifted my tigers from bottom to a GF they’d be put into the hall of fame not in the unemployment queue 💀
