| It's 106 years since the game of rugby got it's greatest ever rule change - the reduction from 15 to 13-a-side.
It provided space for try-scoring to be the main emphasis of the game, unlike Union where the game has always been (and is increasingly so IMO) about kicking to win. Most of the rule changes since them have similarly been designed to make the game faster and more entertaining. This 'powerplay' concept though is just ridiculous. It's not as if we don't get high-scoring games in both the NRL and SL without having to force the issue any further.
What next - The 9-a-side Challenge Cup competition?

| Speaking of Dewsbury...
One child hides in the crowd and its mother makes a desperate appeal for its safe return, the crowd have 80 minutes to find the child or raise £100,000 whichever comes first, the Press Association may also be brought into the search as can Look North and Calendar, the game ends when the child is found and/or all the money is spent.
Hours of fun for the extended family.

do you have personal experience of such a woman ?
if so,do you have any contact details ?'"
I thought of the roughest dung-hole I could. Then I realised that I didn't really want to kick off with Bradford fans and picked Dagenham instead (the Jewel in the Crown of Essex).

Try Tilbury - I had the misfortune to have to work there for a while - Dagenham is Cannes compared to Tilbury..
you could have picked Cas ?

| Six to go almost works, but the same effect could be achieved with a little less chaos by using "free kicks" for offences you don't want to result in kicks at goal.
Six to go speeds the game up, but frankly I'd rather have the opportunity to hoof the ball 40 metres down field, and it's barely a penalty at all for a team penalised on the first tackle.
In short, load of old poppycock.
Some of the counter-proposals on here have potential though.
