Defenders win out as restarts drop: Hasler

Des Hasler claims the NRL has let defenders push offsides to the skinniest point they have in recent memory coming into the finals as set restarts hit an all-time low. Hasler joined Wayne Bennett on Friday in pointing out that the NRL's interpretations had changed late in the season, with Bennett predicting officials will become even more lenient. "That's entirely their call, but I know it's something that Jared Maxwell and Graham Annesley were looking at," the Manly coach said. "I was talking to Jared Maxwell the other day, we're still getting a lot of blowouts but the 10 metres is probably the skinniest I've seen it for a long time. "I know that the referees are aware of that. "From when they first introduced the six-again rule I think the six-agains per game have dropped by a considerable margin, well over 50 per cent. "It's an interesting one."
