Quote: Itchy Arsenal "Agree with all of that except the interchanges part Grimmy
I would add that in time all players could become the same size and shape.No room for small guys or really big guys. The Aussies would lead the way with 6 foot 3 inch 15 and a half stone players across the park. Aussies invariably go for brawn above everything else'"

I'm not saying they're all bad moves, I'm in favour of six again for example. But doing them all could completely push out the big guys which would be bad from an entertainment perspective IMO, as well as pushing some players out of the game.

I like the 6 again but would like to see more yellow cards for repeat indiscretions

I like the NRL method and some good tries have been scored from scrums this season

We haven't had scrums in rugby league for forty years.

If there are scrums in the World Cup next year, will we be at a disadvantage not having had scrums in the domestic game for over 12 months?
Keep the six again rule, but re-introduce scrums as soon as deemed safe to do so.

Quote: moto748 "It's been less rare in the NRL with the latest rules tweaks. But actually I'm not opposed to the 'giving the players a rest' argument, and I think a dead-set insistence on speeding the game up in every way possible does not lead to the best contests. The game is already quick in that respect compared to RU and its endless stoppages.'"


The boss of the NRL has indicated he wants the rules for packing the scrums tightened up for 2021 as he believes they are currently a mess.

Will be looked at when the rules committee meet next which I think is later this month.

I agree entirely, now too much emphasis on speed at the expense of individual skill.

Without any form of scrums, we might as well has well have a team of players who are all the same size like they are in American Football.

Haha are you being serious?

How the hell are American footballers all the same size? You've got massive defensive players likes Suh, Clarke, Reader etc all 22 + stone. Your top running backs are like 16 stone and a real mixture of heights.

What? icon_lol.gif Even by your usual standards that's a daft comment. NFL players vary in size WAY more than rugby players of either code. Here's two players on the same team (LA Raiders):

OT Trent Brown - height 6'8, weight 25.5 St
CB Lamarcus Joyner - height 5'8, weight 13 St

One big Sunday dinner and Brown would literally be twice the size of his teammate.

I think since they got rid of contested scrums , scrums have been rather pointless. However, to rid the game of scrums entirely would affect the game in a radical manner, and not just the role of 'the packs' . The whole structure of a team, and the game, would also be changed if that were to happen . Personally, I would like to go back to contested scrums, but I don't think the governing bodies would consider that. 'Elf&Safety' would also do their nuts.

You may be interested to learn we haven't had scrums most of the season.
