Bloke In A Bar
Round 12 2026 Review

Like if I'm honestly, if I'm a coach these days, I'm honestly telling my players, I don't want to see a big hit.

Bloke In A Bar
Round 12 2026 Review

I don't want to see it.

Bloke In A Bar
Round 12 2026 Review

If you scream out of the line and you, yeah, all the boys are going to be like, yeah, big hit or whatever, you're probably going to cost us a fucking quick play of the ball and everyone's past the ball now and they're going to be in behind us.

It's the physicality.

Bloke In A Bar
Round 12 2026 Review

It's the mental toughness and the physical toughness.

Bloke In A Bar
Round 12 2026 Review

And so it used to be, if you win that physical battle, you are rewarded for it in defense.

Bloke In A Bar
Round 12 2026 Review

We are not rewarding players for winning that physical battle anymore.

Bloke In A Bar
Round 12 2026 Review

And that's my concern heading into this one where, you know, I don't want to see touch footy just like this in origin.

Bloke In A Bar
Round 12 2026 Review

That's not rugby league.

Bloke In A Bar
Round 12 2026 Review

It's touch footy.

Round 12 2026 Review

Do you think that's all we're going to say?
