The Tom Daley Budgie Smuggler award for the best dive of the night was a close call between Lulu Eye and Powell they are bringing the game into disrepute. If they want to throw them selves on the floor then they should try Association Football.

On the Back foot looking for the front one.
The game as a whole needs to nip all this nonsense in the bud. Commentators need to ridicule it, fans need to boo them for the rest of the game, coaches need to call them out, refs need to take action etc etc otherwise it will become acceptable like in football as you mention. It’s unthinkable that we are now seeing those kind of antics in a sport that prides itself on honesty. We laugh at football for it but we’re in danger of going the same way
Over the course of the televised games, there were a number of incidents at the PLB where it was obvious players couldn't physically remove themselves from the area and the player in possession deliberately played for a penalty. Sometimes the refs just need to show some nous! Although I can see the other side of the argument where folk would call out refs regarding consistency, so it's a tough one, where you can't please everyone, bit like life really!
I think that if the player is trying to get out of the way it should be play on. If they are trying to gain advantage then it should be a penalty and let the ref decide. I watched all the televised games and overall I like the new rules but this issue at the PTB was a bit obvious. It’s annoying. Let the game flow
Its a shame really the RFL brought in the time wasting rules with the shock clock which looks a positive, they should have instructed the ref to clean up the PTB by policing it correctly.
Take our game on Thursday night and the no of times the Goons played the ball a couple metres forward of the mark we did it as well but the Goons as ever go beyond the norm, same for interference at the PTB I would have brought in a ruling that if the player knocks on when playing the ball with an opposition player still in contact then we replay the PTB instead of a scrum.
The other one is when the tackle is complete. Thompson got tackled and was about ready to play when O'Loughlin hit the hand to loosen the ball and the Goons got head and feed.
Wrong thread.

Wasn't that Hardaker?
So where can we see the M.O.M. listings from the all new system. They did say it would be up somewhere didn't they?
