2 weeks in a row the Tigers have been screwed by the refs, not saying we would have won.

Have to agree with Gus. I definitely don't a lot but recently he makes more sense than most.

3:42 love you Gus 😂

Without Gus in the commentary, I'd probably won't watch this show but, somehow he's very exciting to watch and always looking forward at his opinions lol

It's a game for men, first hitup is a test for a men.

Gus is right

The biggest problem with the game is the ref in the stands calling ruck infringement with absolutely no scrutiny. It is called 2 or 3 passes later and if you rewind there is no infringement. I cant believe this issue gets absolutely no media attention. The game is open to manipulation and it lacks integrity.

I’ve slowly accepted all the other rule changes but if they take kick offs out of the game then I am done. I would not hesitate to never watch again.

If the powers that be keep changing rules everytime someone gets hert no game left ,there will be a rebel leauge !!! And they can have there touch football.

Gus should be an NRL mascot. Or an anti-bunker campaigner.

Let the game run like before... that's real football.❤

When was the last time there wasn’t a rule change from one season to the next???

Gus got in one package..our game is stupid..😂😂

Feed em Gus

This is crazy. It’s a contact sport. How can you take away one of the best parts of the game

So glad I only have to watch Nine for 4 games a year

If they get rid of the kick off, I won’t watch

It’s not the real fans that want these changes. It’s the part-time fans.

You are spot on Gus. 😂😂😂

Best episode of Old Man Yelling at Television ... ever!

The NRL are “stupid” for issuing a breach notice. Bringing the game into disrepute? How “stupid” is that interpretation!!!

good on you Gus

Whenever Gus says "Don't get me started!" he's fuming!

amen gus

Thank you Gus!!!! LEGEND!!

Hard to figure out where Gus sits on the Api try.

Bulldogs getting sued is just the beginning. Every ex player with cte will end up suing the nrl and the game will be gone.

Can't blame Gus, he knows what the game has gone through.

If the NRL is concerned about potential concussion on kick offs then they need to be just as concerned over the impact of big collisions with sides 10 metres apart, surely the impact was less woth sides 5 metres apart.

Couldn’t agree more with Gus and gal

Just saw this! Gus is 110% on the money!!!

Rarely agree with gus but goddamn him talking about the players know what they sign up for was absolutely beautiful

Well said Gus,

The rule changing isn't for the Men to continue. The rule changes are designed for the women's growth. NRL is the canary game, used to tinker here & there. WNRL is their real goal, more money, more sponsorship. signed, the accountants.

Gus is right on the money 💯💯💯 Why not put actual players in charge to make the rules, or at least be a form of Jury who decide whether rules can be made, altered or removed.

The team that puts the dropout out on the full has to hand over the ball and dedend a set of six on their own 10m line. Thats much worse than 7 tackles from the opposition 20.

He just went full Gus on them

Gus calls out on NRL rules is ruining the game I agree with him 💯

Paul and guz are real.. our game will end up like basketball and netball!!.no disrespectful to both sports but it's ending up no contact..why don't they listen to the legends instead of clowns.

Yea gus

soon it will become a touch footy

Simple solution make a rule that two players can go in for the tackle at kick off and that’s the only time this rule takes place

The game needs to be adjusted in the light of evidence about continual head injuries. Perhaps institute a "safe catch" option restarts the game from the 20m line if the ball is caught behind the goal line. If it goes dead start from the 10m line. If dropped, play on..

love Gus !!!!

Gus is right. I’m at the point I don’t even care about watching my own team let alone any other NRL match! The game is killing itself and I’m just about gone. Best I might do is watch these vids occasionally

Jwh best forwoud in the game to easy for him.champ of a player will be missed all the best champ

Why not apply the standard general play rule whereby if the receiving team catches the ball on the full in their own in goal area then they get a 20m tap. The team kicking off will ensure this doesn’t happen by kicking shorter. Therefore shorter run up for both the ball carrier and the defence and in turn a lessened collision. Where is there a problem with that? This wind up from 50m (or more) apart is very new in the game. It didn’t happen when Gould played. A kick off landing in the in goal in those days would be allowed to bounce and roll dead leading to a 22m restart. As it is currently is actually somewhat repetitive and very predictable. You would not be adding a rule but eliminating an exception to an existing rule.

A lot of us fans on social media are against this bs as well and actually stand up for the game and the players, so berating all people on social media and acting everyone in the public is dumb, does not help your cause.

Totally agree with Gus. That's why we love rugby league. It's a tough physical sport and it requires physically tough players to play this sport. We cannot just change the fabric of the game to accommodate players who are not physically fit to play the game. This sport is not for everyone. Just like we have boxing, wrestling and UFC, every player knows what they are signing up for and their safety on the field is their own responsibility. Let's stop this non-sense already.

I totally agree with Gus...

They don't tackle around the legs anymore.

If they change it I'm out. Stop destroying the game

My thoughts for quite awhile have been no more than two defenders per tackle. With all the breaks in the game should they also look at reducing the interchange again to introduce a little more fatigue?

thats the nature of contact

I can't believe I actually agree with Gus. Seeing him that peeved off is how I feel every minute of every game. They've destroyed the game with so many ridiculous rules. Bring back 80's footy I say.

Damn. The NRL has been meddling with the rules and where has it got us? Sold out stadiums.

This rules has cost tigers downfall a lot

Gus doesn't go "nuclear", infact he goes very normal and very valid 💯 !!! I said it before, one day tackling will be illegal and we'll all be watching touch football lol 🤦🤣

I think Gus accidentally hit the nail on the head when he said the game is stupid. Rugby League is stupid, it’s dumb fun entertainment and they gotta stop trying to turn it into something complicated and boring.

Gus just got a 20K fine and a formal breach notice for speaking basic truth. THIS GAME IS STUPID.

Gus speaking for most if not all fans of the game. Especially the Api try, feckin’ robbed. Not even a Tigers fan.

That's why I only watch highlights.😅

I have to asked this question to Gus, does he think the administrator continues to tinker with the rules and the game will be evolving to more of a touch or grab footie?

The players and coaches need to stand up to the NRL, boycott 1 week at a time till refs are held accountable and fundamental rules stop being changed for football politics.

Gus says the game is being torn apart by everyone except the coaches and players , however last week he was blaming high class coaches for influencing rule changes , for us that watch these guys and listen to them for the game we love , then i am starting to second guess these has been players

GET RID OF THE SCRUM!

And the stupid thing about this is Gus has been fined $20,000 for saying what we all think. Gus shouldn’t be fined $20,000, the idiots at NRL HQ should be fined $20,000 each for their stupidity.

Explain how 17000 people at Campbelltown stadium who didn’t get a replay showing the so called no try ???? The referee signalled and blew the whistle for a try, 17000 people cheered as the tigers were back at 10-6 only to have the bunker 54km away take the try away on a replay that was never shown at the ground …… and the nrl thinks this is ok and a great game ??? Give me a break,

If ex players didn't sue the league then changes wouldn't have to be made. When these guys sue then rules have to change.

I can’t stand Gus, but I 100% agree with him. Ive been playing this game all my life and even I wonder what some of the calls are. I also use to play and Watch Rugby Union as a schoolboy. I remember explaining rules to a lot of people that had never played because it was so technical and people stopped watching for that reason. Rugby league was simple to follow. Not anymore. They are destroying the game. By the way, bring back the biff

Go Gus. 100% correct. Even my Victorian mates admire the first hit up of Origin. Oh, and Tigers have been robbed two tries in two weeks.

JWH hit Suli with a elbow and thats what knocked him out nothing to do with the kickoff

Try and explain the game of rugby league and it’s rules to someone who has never watched it! You’ve got absolute Buckley’s!!

It hurts me to say it but I agree with Gus, too many rules … the game is slowly migrating to tag

100% agreed with Gus and Gal, leave the game alone, if you dont like it go and officiate another game, maybe soccer will have you...Good on you Gus and go Gal.... i used to love this game, these days i tolerate it. The game i love is no longer here. LEAVE OUR GAME ALONE.

Make them wear head gear before you go changing the game

Tigers ROBBED.....AGAIN!!!!!

Gus is absolutely spot on. The game is being picked apart far too much and the kick off "debate" shouldn't even be one - no way should it ever not be part of the commencement of each half - IT'S FUNDAMENTAL TO THE FORMAT OF THE GAME. And yes absolutely ridiculous the Api got that try denied - that is a try ever since the beginning of rugby league.

Kickoffs another story made up by reporters who never played who wont leave it alone until the nrl does something

Just make it touch footy, oh wait then they will call it sexual assault.

What will happen to boxing if we are talking sports,

That api no try made me never want to watch nrl again, disgusted

Gould and 4 officials settling into their seats, missed a blatant elbow to the head,first tackle, simple as that! Biggest thug in game walks again, JWH.

I've been a rugby league fan since i was a kid in the late 80s, and i can honestly say the game has gone soft. Too many rule changes.

It's simple. Maximum 2 tacklers except when defending the line. * good enough to beat 2 = should be rewarded * unable to defend with 2 = should be dropped All the rules recently added to manage gang tackles, wrestling, etc become essentially irrelevant. E.g. No need for ball stripping rules, much less opportunity to slow the play-the-ball, etc.

go woke go broke .... PV come on is a joke

Yes that was a try😊

At this rate the game is heading toward being like glorified oz tag

All of the clubs need to put there foot down and go on strike No teams to play=no NRL

Need to strip the rules of the current NRL franchise, take it back to the original format. Rugby league is a great product, just it’s currently being trashed by the biggest franchise. NRL needs to step up or step aside.

Leave the game alone alright HIA is already tearing my hair out …

Went to the Warriors last weekend. The Bunker ruined the first half and almost ruined the game. If a Ref gives three 6 again to the same team then next one should be a penalty and bin. No more than 3 in a row. There I said it!

If they get rid of the kick off its goodbye nrl simple as that

I’ve given up watching NRL this season for the first time since 1978…sick of the changes, it’s unwatchable

Haven’t watched a full game of footy for years because of the stupidity! The game has become to heavily influenced by do gooders unfortunately! Shame on the NRL!

Check, whichever country you live in: ANNUAL DEATHS in construction and farming. R.L. should be compared to those occupations, not to people, typing on computer keyboards

If Gus was the CEO of NRL, the game would have been more RFL than ever before. It's getting too fast and soft now a days with all them rule change.

Dragons players fault on that one and besides Dragons did well on the other 12 kick offs they did

Alex McKinnon made our game soft … sorry what happened to ya but that’s the risk u take

I can tell you why we have all these rule changes to soften the game.......they want more females to follow the sport and make it all rose colour glasses, which it is not. The NRL should have some balls and say if you do not like the sport then go follow netball.
