Every single rugby fan I speak to wants the ruck tidying in Super League, the NRL is much slicker at that side of the game.

I don't think there are many rules that need changing. The rules simply need to be enforced.

I still think we need to find a way of introducing/re-introducing another area of competition in the game. Basically we have one at the moment, the speed of the ruck. Which is why there's been so much focus on it from both attacks and defences.
Another area of compeition would both reduce that focus thereby potentially opening the game up, and giving "lesser" teams more of a chance to compete.

Little thing but I would like to see the first half or end of game finish when the ball is in touch as in RU and not when the ball is still 'in play'.

Reminds me of that game (Champ 1?) a year or so ago, where a player went to boot the ball out of play in celebration as the full-time hooter went, the wind caught the ball and blew it back towards his posts without crossing the touchline, the opposition scored and stole the match!

Impartial referees would be a start...

Remove ref call before sending to video ref
Have video ref at all games
Stop backchat
Scooping the ball whilst foot is in touch. This should be classed as head and feed to attacking side or drop out depending on the position

consistently

1. Referees not to call players by nicknames etc. Use numbers instead.
2. Touch judges to raise flags if the ball goes inside their post and the ref to watch the cross bar...three flags means a score
3. Play the ball with the foot
4. Referees not to tell players when they have to get off and can go forward etc. A simple held call is enough
5. No micing up refs
6. All contact above the shoulders to be penalised
7. Multipliers applied to sendings off for repeat offenders
8. Disciplinary panel to consider club records and patterns as well as individual behaviour

1 - Legitimate shoulder charge (not head high) allowed
2 - Consistent length of time per 'held' call when players are tackled and held up - all players to release on that call - any slow release, or taking player to ground after call to be penalised
3 - Held call once ball carrying arm hits floor with consistent time allowance for defenders to clear (no 'dominant tackles allowing extra wrestle and hold time) - penalty for slow release
4 - Penalise simulation
5 - Same as everyone else with scrap the foot over the line in goal ruling
6 - No more 'on report' - if something deserves a ban, then surely it deserves a red card? Simply let the referee take action on the field, all matches are then reviewed and if someone is banned and the ref took no action, then that's is a fail for the ref and can be dealt with by the head of refs as part of their performance management protocols (which should be defined and consistent)

I wouldn't be keen on contested scrums, play the balls or strips (other than 1 on 1) - too messy and will deter flair play, as teams will be too focussed on ensuring the ball is completely secure - one handed offloads and flick passes would be gone.

Introduce 5 or 10 minute sin bin for ungentlemanly conduct, milking or gamesmanship!

Exactly this
