goes back to refereeing standards

"The RFL statement read: “Following a review of the first two weeks of the Betfred Super League season, it has become clear that some players are deliberately passing a ball into a player with the sole intention of forcing the Match Official to award a penalty for offside.”

“Having reviewed these incidents, Rugby Football League Head of Match Officials, Steve Ganson, has written to all Head Coaches and made it clear that in these situations, Match Officials have now been instructed to consider Section 15 (i) of the Laws of the Game which state that a player is guilty of misconduct if he behaves in any way contrary to the true spirit of the game.

“This does not in any way absolve a defender of his responsibilities to clear the ruck and the defending team will still be penalised should the Match Official deem he is interfering with play.”

that was February 2017, the interpretation of the rule was changed, its down to referees to act "for the good of the game"

Sounds so simple doesn't it.

Is that your honest view? "Convert him to centre as he would know how to create space for a winger."

I hoped Wane would do some coaching to improve him under pressure with the high ball but it never happened and patently the current regime don't bother with defence near the line so be prepared for Salford (and everyone else) to bombard him. The hope is that Hankinson, who seems to have a brain, will shepherd him or take the high balls himself. Sarginson missing might prove to be a blessing.
Whose hope? Yours or the clubs?

Either way, sounds stupid given that he barely makes the team.

How do you go about organising that? Do we adjust to the aussies or them to us?

I'm not saying Wigan youngsters shouldn't regard playing for the Warriors as an honour, and I'm sure most of them do. What I am saying is that you only have to watch them side by side to see that the NRL is generally played at a way higher than the vast majority of SL games. Surely you don't dispute that?
I also have a slight conspiracy theory that NRL streamed games are slightly sped up for TV.
It's easy to put that theory to bed by simply timing the match clock.

But who does that and even speeding it up by a quater of a second would have a massive impact.

Im not saying its truthful hence the i have a conspiricy theory.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Shenton played the ball deliberately into the Catalan player 😡
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

It was so deliberate and is not in the spirit of the game no matter what team does it

I think the key is that in the NRL the refs are much stricter on "milking"; you hear them shout it all the time. So players are encouraged just to get on with the game, and if the dummy-half has to reach over a prone player to pick up the ball, he normally just does it, with only really serious and clear-cut examples of loitering in the ruck being penalised with a penalty. Which, it seems to me, is how it should be.
