Raiders coach Ricky Stuart criticizes NRL's six-again rule changes, claiming they disrupt the game's integrity and contribute to higher score margins against his team.

The Canberra Times

Canberra coach Ricky Stuart says the NRL has lost the fabric of its game, leading to the anger over the league's controversial six-again rule change.

Six years after the set restart was introduced, the competition's call to implement six-agains between the 20 and 40-metre line has led to the biggest change to games since 2021.

It has allowed teams to have long possession runs, making fatigue a significant factor for defenders and margins blowing out.

The Raiders are one of the sides suffering, leaking the second most points in the league (182), with Parramatta the only team to concede more (226).
