Re: A new Canberra Stadium

Canberra stadium is showing its 47 year old age. You’re a long way from the action, its old cement build makes it freezing in winter, even some of the below average Sydney grounds are much better for watching the game. Mr Barr has spent over a decade talking up a new stadium, but has spent no time a...

I’ve long thought a simple rule would be the second marker has to place one hand on the middle of the back of the first marker. This would make it an easier checkpoint for the ref and create a basic habit for the players.

Penrith seem to have their second marker in a weird position in certain defensive situations. Keep an eye out for this.

Here’s an example. I have noticed it a few times.

Elliot as the captain comes back in when fit. But he’ll be under pressure if others continue to perform. That’s a pretty consistent approach made by clubs for over a century of rugby league.

Knight’s had some poor key players such as Ponga. But Safiti brothers and Frizzel were good.

Many times the Knights were in our faces 1 pass off the ruck after playing the ball. Were they offside, or were we slow.
