Quote: ninearches "What with the shambles of the golden point period & "when is a ball steal not a ball steal" ,the RFL seem to be excelling themselves in finding ways to shoot the game in the foot.
Rugby League is a simple game ,keep it simple then everybody is happy. No need for elaborate rule changes .
I find it hard to understand that ,if Hull are this year's team to beat , how they made such hard work against our underperforming gang.'"
Hull played well in the first 2 games against some fairly mediocre opposition. Its just the pundits getting carried away, we are not 'the team to beat'.
We look a lot more solid than last year but still work to be done.
Agree about golden point, never liked it.
Also my initial impressions of the new ball steal rule are that I don't like. It just introduces yet another decision that is hard for refs to accurately judge.
