After eight rounds of action in the NRL season, NRL champions and The Boardroom's Ryan Hoffman and Chad Townsend take a wide-lens look at the state of the competition, from the pre-season rules changes to the form of several clubs, as well as what's working for the league, how injuries are impacting teams, and the results of the new speed of the game.
Six agains and the disruptor rule, as well as the NRL's 'micromanaging' of clubs, lead to plenty of debate on where the league currently sits.
"It's just another case of the NRL making a rule for the sake of it," Hoffman said on the 'disruptor' rule.
