The frustrating thing with the 6 again rule is that the referee wouldn't give a penalty half of the time, but to wave 6 again is an easy option for the officials imo. Also when it happens on the 1st tackle, the team in possession would be much better off with a penalty than 1 extra tackle on there own line.

Conversely they would be much better off with the six again if they were inside the opponent's 30 - swings and roundabouts. Greater use of sin binning would stop this - its cynical and does the spectacle of the game no favours

Nice to see Tetavano earning his coin on Hudds 2nd last try, the deflection off Bentley floats right past him, absolutely no effort to catch it, hits the deck, try time.

Just watched the highlights . Great try from Sutty and looked like he was involved in some good things.
Scarey how we all switched off completely to the loose balls for the Yates try. Schoolboy stuff …..

The NRL amended the rule for this season:

"The NRL has confirmed a significant change to the controversial six-again rule for the 2022 season.

According to NRL.com, instead of a set-restart, a penalty will be awarded if a team commits a ruck infringement or has a player or players inside the 10 metres while “inside the 40 metre zone of the team in possession”.

It comes after teams repeatedly exploited the six-again rule in 2021, delaying the ruck and deliberately being off-side early in the tackle counts."

Also seen a few sin binnings when teams have given a number of restarts away in quick succession

What is it with wingers not holding their shape and trusting their inside, Handley flapping in on the first try was Hallesque.

Agreed, it was a pathetic effort.
