Great comments. Let's not beat around the Bush here. The games gone rubbish. Time to re think. |

6 point try if score from within your own 40m. Incentiveise teams trying somthing different.
Strip down the overcomplicated rules no interpretations and enforce them persistently and consistanty
Make teams pack down with the forwards in the pack not in the defensive line again encourage that risk play or set move. There was once a but of excitement around that play from the scrum as the backs could find space or find a weak defender.
And my most controversial one would be All teams start on say say 50 points and the goal is to get to zero could be 80min could be 55min.

The rfl make too many rule changes, I'd rather just go back to the original rules apart from the scrum which is pointless in both codes. Just simplify it, but most importantly actually enforce them!

Love it.... lets re-invent the game and make some rule changes
* 12 Men on the pitch
* Bring back the shoulder charge (no contact to head allowed)
* Winners of the league are the champions
* BRING BACK THE BIFF |

Is it a coincidence or have you listened to Andrew Johns talking about exactly the same idea a few days ago.

Trainers not allowed on the pitch unless there's a stoppage (try or injury) would be an improvement

It's great to see so many reptiles to my post. It looks like the idea has merit.

I've been advocating this for some time.
We are one of the worst culprits with quite often 3 water carriers coaching on the pitch.
I hate it |
