The RFL have decided to move kick off times back 15 mins to 7.45 next year because of games constantly only finishing after 10pm! Something tells me fans have decided this decision and not SKY! even though if it was not for sky the game would not exist Some of us will welcome this decision as some fans have trains and buses to catch after games or in my case use to

Why can't we just put a time limit on video refs?
60 seconds. If you can't decide from 60 seconds, it goes with the on field decision

The video ref debate could run forever! Some are in favour of it, others aren't. I'm in favour in principle. However, in my view needs tweaking.
1- If we are using it, then it should be at every game.
2 - Do away with refs call. If the ref knew what happened it wouldn't need to be checked. It is really, refs guess!!
3 - limit the time or number of views.

I'd even consider using it like they do in tennis with each team having 2 or 3 challenges at the captains discretion.

I can't argue with any of those points... get them implemented

SKY games finish close to 10pm beacuse of these factors
1 8.04 kick off
2 At least 5 trips to the video ref taking at least 2 minutes each time.
3 18 minutes taken for half time
4 numerous stoppages for scrums that have been formed quickly
5 some time taken to see if there is a 20 metre restart or drop out!
6 Injured players

Think it was in RL papers today and has been reported in a few nationals.

I agree on the time limit on the vid ref but disagree on the removal on the refs call. The problem isn't the refs call, it's the video ref spending ages to disprove it. for example that burgess try, look at each angle, check the best, see that it is inconclusive, give try. They have implemented a system and don't use it imo.

I would implement time limits on packing scrums/remove them completely. I don't think kicking to touch to gain time to get your breath back is an exciting part of the game, not is wasting time getting to the scrum to help that. Speed that up (or replace it completely with tap and go) and you will see more tired players so more breaks, the game will finish sooner and maybe even the increase fitness requirement will see smaller players and less injuries. Not to mention the games will finish quicker.

Have set times for drop outs, scrums to form. Stop the clock when a try is scored and give the kicker a set limit to take the kick. Ensure the video ref can only view what the ref has asked for. For a try from a kick, they automatically check onside/offside even if the ref hasnt asked for that to be checked

Shot clock needs to happen. It's worked brilliantly in the NRL, stops players messing around delaying games and is generally a better spectacle because of it. No one wants to watch 14 players around for 2 minutes to put a scrum down.

Agree with the shotclock. Sick of seeing players throw the ball away when a dropout under the sticks has been awarded to that the defending team can have a rest. Long half times for televised matches are also a bugbear.

7:45 kick offs may reduce the number of travelling fans. I have enough problems getting back to Wigan from where I work in Runcorn on a Friday night so people travelling over the Pennines will find it even more difficult.

Well they pretty much do all of that in the NRL, and rightly so. We should all be playing to the same rules, anyway.

Agree with all of that.
Also get the "water carriers" off the pitch and for me we would then be getting back to players playing the game as they see it rather than paranoid coaches who think they know and do everything when the game is actually players

We really need to bring in the shot clock. Some of the kicks at goal take 2-3 minutes from the try being scored. Infuriating when they are in front of goal and i could kick it over in 10 seconds.
