More than six-agains: Why a 20-point lead is no longer safe in the NRL
@Source: brisbanetimes.com.au
That’s just the half of it. St George Illawarra and Manly each pegged back 14-point deficits before going down, while the Cowboys twice surged from 12 points behind in their 30-all draw against Penrith.
In all, from six games, 114 “comeback points” were scored, while 29 were added by the leading sides.
With eight field goal attempts (two of them successful), Latrell Mitchell and Stephen Crichton masterclasses, trainers spraying footballs with water and Jaeman Salmon spraying Ricky Stuart, the games had it all.
Never far away from the discussion of outrageous momentum swings in the modern game though, are six-agains – one of rugby league’s most seismic rule changes.
