Maybe, half the time fans have no idea why they’re given as it’s down to refs interpretation and they’re hardly consistent between different officials and tolerances. It’s quite frankly frustrating.
Penalties also tend to be reviewed on the TV games which gives some accountability and explains as to the reasons behind them.
I think the game has been sped up too much also which has led to a decrease in quality. You have some tired teams after relentless repeat sets with no break and it leads imo to some sloppy play.
I think we need to go back to the way the game was managed 10-15 years ago personally.
I watched a game from many years ago and it was far more exciting than the tiresome predictable tactics of today. Teams of the past used to have to break down teams with quality plays/kicks and create the gaps and space.
These days the tactics mostly are to get on front foot with fast plays and one up drives behind the ruck to force six agains and capitalise on a team on the back foot with a more direct but less exciting style. Quite frankly it’s boring.
