does rugy league need elv's

[nqcowboy87]

no not those stupid little things that live in trees butlike the rugby unions experimental law variations

 

[Twigg]

What is Rugy League?

Elves?

Yes the NRL has one in Kimmorley.

 

[RSK]

Lincoln Withers is leaving. So we might need to find a replacement.

1st time I've seen a typo on the heading

If they are going to introduce new laws they need to be significant - as the rugby ELV's are. RL keeps introducing mini-changes which do nothing except introduce a new infringment and new controversy. Examples like the stripping rule and dominant tackle.

The 40/20 rule is an example of a rule which has introduced significant change - or would do if any team really tried to take advantage of it. Going from 5m to 10m rule was also significant.

A issue that many people see as a problem in league today is the wrestle after a player is tackled. Rather than introduce rules to police the wrestle (which is the 2008 method) we need to see rule changes that remove the importance of the wrestle (this is the ELV approach).

I think the game at elite level needs reform, we need more variation in the game. I liked the 11 a side match played at toyota cup level.

Union can teach us the following;

Yeah. Parra is right. Let's copy union...

It is such a thrilling spectacle. :lol:

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

sh*thouse troll.

Not even making an effort.

 

[_Johnsy]

Union is introducing elv's in an attempt to make it more attractive to spectators = more like league.

Dont need them

Limited tackle football.

10m rule.

Reduction of fg points to make it a game breaking ploy only

Interchange rule

differential penalties

sin bin

plus a raft of rules designed to make the game safer.

Meanwhile, Yawnions only rule change was one pinched directly off League - that is to pay players. League came up with that in 1895 - took Union 101 years to work it out.

League copying ideas of Union is like the chief engineer at Boeing designing a biplane.

Obviously it's not about introducing the exact same rules into Rugby League (how would that even work), it's taking a leaf out of union's book and at least trying some radical rules to make the game more watchable.

 

[Loudstrat]

Union desperately needs to make the game more watchable. The only thing League needs to make the game more watchable is give Canterbury a bye for 26 rounds in 2009.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Elves?

Yes the NRL has one in Kimmorley.

He's not an elf, he's a hobbit. Elves are tall, thin and kinda gay, and consequently more likely to be found prancing around in tight shorts on an AFL pitch.

Quick get this man a role on the NRL board. What vision and forward thinking.

 

[*Paul*]

Elvis? No.

 

[Loudstrat]

Elvis? No.

:lol::lol:

The NRL would do better with Chuck Berry.

 

[Snor]

yes and Vichy has to be celebrated before every RL match

 

[Loudstrat]

And Danny Wicks is now the prototype forward.
