Quote: leedsnsouths "I genuinely don't think their were any 'fans' who travelled from Canada, there were maybe 50 people cheering Toronto but I would bet they were a mix of Canadians who live in Leeds and had no idea what was going, and people from West Yorkshire who don't like Leeds and came to see the game out of curiosity.
I don't think the problem with Toronto is their away support, the problem is that it is another waste of time gamble by the rfl that will go nowhere and distract from actual real ways the sport can grow, just like a Paris team or a test in Denver.'"
Sone truth in that the games has lost its sparkle.
Too much 5 drives and a kick. The only strategies teams have for winning games is. a/. Slow the game down,
B / milk penalties by throwing yourself to the ground rolling around and trying to con the ref and then getting another set.
The games needs to do something radical to make it faster and more interesting the way it did when it went from 15 to 13 players, 4 for a try and 1 for a DG or get rid of ridiculous scrums.
Maybe time to go to 12 a side to allow for more attacking plays ?
