The NRL wonder why their crowds are down, Gus says its all about to many weak playing rosters, others says its all about cost and I say because the game has become boring.
Todays big game, every set the same,five runs and a bomb. Both sides played the same game plan,grind away than bomb away. It was like watching paint dry and it is typical of how most games are played out these days.
The people who make the rules have to come up with a rule that makes the bomb not the percentage play. I know this subject has been done to death,but we will kill the game if we dont address the problem. Its so refreshing to see a team like the warriors actually try and run the ball over the line.
We had great crowds in 2005, when the tigers and cowboys would attack from anywhere, be great to see teams forced to actually construct some last tackle plays.
Anyway if they dont,AFL,the A league and even rugby might swallow them up
I disagree. Firstly, you always get 1 or 2 awful matches per round, but you also get 1 or 2 v.good ones. Most are somewhere in the middle. Secondly soccer is a stupid game, stupid laws as to what is a free-kick and what isn't etc. And don't get me started on r.union.
Furthermore, as with the Broncos v Dragons Rd.25(I think) match in 2010, it was said they cancelled each other out, I disagree with that too, the reason todays Knights match wasn't good, like the 2010 one I just mentioned, is because the teams don't want to give a future Finals opponent real time practice against all their plays and style; so they just play their very basics.
You should have watched the Warriors v Storm today, v.good it was. Look at the classics we've had in the Finals series over recent years.
Also appreciate good defence, and besides, I don't really want to see teams trying to score with every set of six.
Regards AFL and soccer, I don't know how ppl can watch other team sports if they have either of those two at the top of their "favourites", in AFL you've got to be prepared and accept men at times looking like 10 year old children on the playground chasing after a ball. And the vast majority of Man.U supporters don't follow soccer, it's just a tribal thing that's been brainwashed into them. I bet they don't watch any other team.
Rugby League ppl follow RL, which helps prove to me that it's the best sport on the planet.
