I'm not expecting us to be night and day after BA comes in. Many of the errors/ brain farts I've seen this year are individual in nature, and Wayne Bennett wouldn't make a difference to the majority.

However if we can tighten up a percentage through better organisation and clarity, it might be enough to see us home in more games, we'll see.

We need to be realistic with what BA can bring in, with a short space of time. Said it elsewhere but I'm expecting better yardage sets and improved tactical kicking for a start, and for us to be applying more pressure to the opposition. That much should be doable. Whether we have left ourselves too much to do - we're about to find out pretty quickly!

Two different games - the speed, athletisism and skill set in the NRL demands different interpretation of the rules.

Vaughan gets SO, Whitehead gets 10. NRL less concerned about player safety? And vice versa when it comes to policing pressure on the kicker? I'm not so sure.

NRL equally concerned about safety, but also balanced again the integrity of the sport……

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The NRL has less sending offs, but they have way more sin bins, and their bans are harsher. The fans are equally frustrated by how the rules are interpreted in terms of head contact. Not to mention the ongoing issue regarding hip drop tackles.
They also have the opposite problem SL has in how the ruck is policed, here it's too slow, and over there it's too fast, some of the games have been like touch rugby this season.

From a spectator's perspective I'd far rather have the ruck too fast than too slow. That ought to be the mantra of all referees in RL.
