I think it was 2006, which is, again, when the feeding frenzy was on, when the game was all about tries.
It was after the Tigers won the 05 Grand Final.
The game was all officiated towards making attack great.
And I think this could have been in some ways, Warren, the straw to break the camel's back.
I think it was Newcastle beat Canberra 70-32.
Oh, God.
Can you imagine sitting through that?
Yeah.
100 points in 80 minutes.
102 points in 80 minutes.
And I reckon that probably sent the brains thrusting at the NRL back to the drawing board and said, you know what, we need to do something to reward defence.
Fancy getting scored 32 points.
And you've lost by 38.
It's just unheard of.
Yeah, unbelievable.
It's just unheard of.
So hopefully, look, that can change this year.
But it's a funny one because the one thing that is exciting about the game is the wrestle's gone out of the game and we are seeing teams –
attacking tired defenses.
Fatigue is what we wanted in the game.
