You are starting to get the hang of the forum mate!

Thanks Gaz

I was reading a book about Dr James Naismith (invented basketball from scratch so has some cred). He reckons the right amount of players for a team sport is the least amount of players possible without effecting the core skills you want in the sport.

With 9 and 5 metres the action would be awesome but I think 9 is too few because I don't see how you get 80 minutes out of 9 players. But I also think the least amount we need to get off the field is 2...so either 11 or 10.

Massive advantage of 10 or 11 is you can have more teams with the same amount of players and the stars would have more influence on each game.

True but 80 min is just an artificial constraint. Shorter games introduces the possibility of triple or quadruple headers. Nothing worse thn a shirty, boring 80 min snore fest!

True, that. I've been watching some touch footy on youtube. 2x20 minutes of 6 aside, one on one, ball skill action.

But then we have the broadcasters to deal with. They are where we get most of our money from so it would be wise not to piss them off too much.

I miss the days where real men wrestled as a pass time and it wasnt considered gay.

Nine per team on the field with four bench players (unlimited interchange) so we can still have 13 a side. Even though rugby league actually has 17 these days.

I think almost everything you've ever done would be considered gay, tbh.

If it improves 'the product' and still gets a shitload of viewers and advertisements then they'll be onboard. If they can be sold on 20-20 cricket then why not this?

Heck, the top NRL earners would be on $3m a year. How are the NRL players association not fighting for it?
The capacity to reduce numbers and even play on smaller fields (like touch) is a massive advantage we have in terms of possible evolution over AFL.

Shut your lefty hole. When the giant bees from a pizza parlour attack all of the seals in Antarctica then the joke will be on you. Did I get that right @Hollywood Jesus ?

I think you left out the fact that the giant bees are a result of GMOs and controlled by a worldwide group of Illuminati-esque figures answering to Anthony Weiner using the HAARP installation.

I knew there was more to it. Is Baz right @ Hollywood Beardo?

Those killer bees don't look particularly dangerous.

Unless they got you with their stinger

I think we should have teams consisting of only 2 players. When you have the ball you have 2 players on the team and when defending only 1. Play inside a 5m by 5m square. 20 minute games. That way you can see heaps of tries and if someone makes a tackle it'll look spectacular.

I loved the gimmick where they hid under the wrestling ring in their masks, and the fresh partner swapped with the injured one and refs could never tell the difference....

Why not one player and a midget?

How would that work? The bloke on the right clearly has a much bigger penis.
