Whats your biggest pet peeve in the game right now? Lately I feel like almost every tackle ends in a flop, but they just get completely ignored. Third man stands waiting around the tackle and is SUPPOSED to join it JUST before the player is brought to ground. This actually rarely happens now and instead is just flopped on a second after hitting the floor. The referees don't seem to bother even giving six again let alone straight up penalties. Drives me crazy. I'm going to count how many flops happen tomorrow against Cas.

Players getting up after a tackle and trying to walk/wrestle past the marker to play the ball instead of just playing it where the tackle took place.  Tom Davies was constantly at it last Friday

The constant appeal for a penalty, sick to death of seeing players getting up flapping their arms around at the ref and looking at them with a whimpering expression on their face.  Also, commentary its so dull and has no insightful input on the game you are watching. Its cringe worthy! has no excitement behind it and thoughtless, watch some NRL and no matter what team you are watching you get drawn in by the excitement of the commentary.    

I agree with the above about messing at the ruck. It’s almost unwatchable at times, people desperately trying to hold someone in deliberately, or something that I’ve noticed is moving off the mark slightly to either bring the first marker so close, you get a chance to complain to the ref about it (even though it’s the ball carriers fault) or moving slightly to the side, which makes the markers have to move slightly, which means they can’t be as aggressive with line speed because they are already moving in the opposite direction to get back to square, as the ball is in play. 


It’s clever, particularly the sideways one, because the duty is on the defender to be square at marker. But that slight movement means you can’t chase as hard at marker because you’ve got to adjust last second or risk the penalty. 

Agree with all the above. 


I would bring back the penalty for ruck offences (rather than the 6 again) and for it to be policed correctly. We may see the ruck cleaned up then and not have to endure the wrestling/trapped arms/trapped legs/nudges/hands on ball/fake stumbles/flapping arm appeals etc. 

Totally agree. Defending sides feel free to give a six again on the first tackle as they are hardly losing much. There ought to be the option of a penalty. This would probably delay the game a bit in the short term but six again is sometimes not much of a deterrent.  

Referees giving a knock-on virtually every time the ball hits the ground, even though it has often quite clearly gone backwards.

Yes the 6 again is totally gamed by the offenders. A tactic used early in the tackle count if the defence is not set. 

For me it's the time taken by the video ref looking at various camera angles to decide if it's a try or not  and now we have the captain's challenge...take this try or no try away from the ref and let the video ref decide after all it's what he gets paid to do..

Everything, referees, video ref, Jon Wilkin, Jenna Brooks, Sky. I can go on but I realise it’s pointless because the things any of us fans dislike will never change. You look at the NRL they do a lot of things much better than us but we don’t copy any of it because we are so old fashioned that we don’t like anyone showing us better ways to do things, we just bring Nigel Wood back lmao.

1. Jon Wilkins' white shoes and no socks. 


2. Jon Wilkins' whining and Saints bias. 


3. Jon Wilkins in general. 


And whilst I am at it - RL players mullets. 

Could stand the mullets if we were watching 70’s 80’s rugby
