Opinion: Great teams, players and coaches adapt. The Storm quickly adjusted, rather than sulk that a cabal of influential advisers to Peter V'landys had successfully agitated for a rule designed to undermine them | SMHsport

Yet, in the past two weeks, Craig Bellamy's team has defeated last year's premiers, the Roosters, in a game in Brisbane generally acknowledged as one for the ages.

As such, Barker's employment at RL Central could be seen as a Trojan Horse entering the kingdom to rid the code of the dangerous grapplers.Credit:Yet, by the end of round 7, Barker had produced a report that found only 9.4 per cent of all play-the-balls reviewed had "some type of attempted 'wrestling'."

It raises the question: why bring in a rule to solve a problem that isn't a problem, or exclusive to the Storm?Well, maybe by round seven the NRL's attempts to curb the scourge of wrestling had already been achieved, certainly more successful than eliminating that other Melbourne-based plague.We can't be sure because Barker wasn't working at the NRL last year preparing statistics which can be used for comparison.

The ruck speed has actually slowed, meaning the overall total tackle time is down by a minuscule 0.04 of a second.
