I think they've given them out very willy-nilly and I think it's a part of the reason Melbourne are struggling a little bit.

They're struggling to control that ruck like they...

normally do, but hopefully it kind of, they pull it back a little bit.

And even with the, there was a call on the weekend with a head high where it was like, okay, common sense prevail, like a swinging arm, but it, it was nothing.

The first seven weeks is like, honestly, like a fingertip and it's like head high.

So.

They normally do come out pretty strong with the new rules and then rein it in.

So fingers crossed they do.

But I feel like it's almost if a team gets out to a 14, 16-point lead, it's nowhere near as safe as it has been in the past.

If Roosters got up by even the last two games, like Sharks, we were down by quite a bit.

Knights, we were down by quite a bit.

Normally, I'd be like, it's going to be tough, right?

And the momentum swings, Cody Walker spoke about it, the momentum swings so much more with the six agains.

But with the disrupt, there was one, and again, because I'm a rooster, I remember it, but against Sharks, Rob Toya went up to catch it.

And they were both competing.

And he said Rob Toya touched him before he caught the ball.

But it's like...

Every contest you're touching each other.

You're not allowed to touch the other fucking person.

It was bizarre.
