It feels like a couple of seasons ago with the unstoppable momentum trend.
Thankfully this year half time seems to break it, so it is not the blowouts like it was then.
I felt like it was due to the faster game caused by a lot of penalties/ six agains and teams were just fatigued out of it before they could fire back. When that first territory penalty against the Dragons came last night it felt like deja vu. The NRL has a lot of power with how they instruct the refs to use the whistle.
Hopefully they are being instructed to stay out of the game as much as possible.
