| The game has started to believe it's own press and forgotten what made it s great - in esscence, it was a simple game that anyone could watch and marvel at.
Now we have a situation where grunt, pushing the laws to their limit, conservatism and in some cases, blatant cheating, are preferred to entertainment. Due to the inadequacy of the refs, the RFL and the overly pedantic rules, however, this approach often gives success (Hello Mr Wane).
Fans are apathetic because they have no faith in the ruling bodies abiliity or willingness to change, the ruling body have their collective heads buried in the sand and the media view the game as a joke - a view that is increasingly becoming hard to argue with.
The answer? Only wholesale changes at the RFL will bring about change, and that will require a collective revolution by fans and chairmen.

Maybe Mr Agar coaches them.'"
My daughter used to do this as part of warm ups for judo class a while, the version thats on after sky live games is a lot posher, think dodgeball from the movie dodgeball. Also you're allowed to kick people as a form of touching them.

That's the thing though...no ball.
It needs one like the Snitch in Harry Potter.

Falling crowds, falling TV viewers and a reduction in participation levels. Have you seen the amateur game? Outside of the national conference teams are struggling to fulfil fixtures. I don't know what the answer is!

| I think what has happened is sky tv. 20 years ago they wanted to create franchises within the game & the compromise was keeping the "bigger" teams in superleague while virtually discarding all the others.Unfortunately,the very basis of rugby league is as a parochial sport where the enjoyment is playing the teams round about where you live in local derbies. It is a big upheaval for teams to play cross pennine games for many supporters. There must be many supporters of the game ,& of lower division clubs, for whom teams in superleague attract no allegiance whatsoever & who feel neglected by the game.

| It's pretty simple, but will be hard work to implement but reserve team rugby as to be brought back by all teams.
