I like this idea it could certainly bring more money due to ad breaks.

I think it would make for closer games because it would be harder to keep momentum for a whole half of rugby.

5 mins to re-group for 5 mins after 20 is a good idea for me.

The Doncaster V Sheffield friendly earlier this year was played over four quarters of 20 minutes. I really don't remember why.

Well said tb,leave RL as it is.

Sounds like a possible case of Silverwood misinterpreting of the laws of the game. Was he reffing that day?

Only in the very short term. The conditioning coaches would soon be producing players that best suit 4 x 15 minutes rather than 2 x 40 minutes.

not a good come back to all those against this idea mate.you would'nt have RL but for us.

Australians should be kept as far away from making any decisions regarding RL as possible.

Are Channel Nine behind the idea? If so then it probably will happen. It was Andrew Voss who wanted to get rid of the corner posts IIRC.

Will players be allowed to wear helmets from next season?

I don't know if i should admit this but for a mod you talk a lot of sense.

Sounds like its about making money, not playing rugby. The game is fine as it is.

Awful idea to be honest, the game wouldn't be the same.

Once their change rugby league as we know it will the NRL boards be taken down?

the problem with agreeing with headhunter is this...you leave yourself open to being called a RU fifth columnist..cos theres no way is he a genuine RL fan.

I agree 4 quarters and a reduction in interchanges to say 8. Would be a good move. It would allow the TV companies chance to make some more money and pass it onto the clubs.

yeah – because that's what Rupert would just naturally do …
