Commission makes call - One ref plan finalised for 2020: https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/05/13/commission-makes-call-one-ref-plan-finalised-for-2020/
NRL trophy could be scrapped as integrity of ‘weird’ 2020 season vanishes, says Ikin: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...n/news-story/9315ad23b0f6109008ab113d5a66c50b
Wow, this is BIG! It's actually happening and to be honest, I can't believe it. I wouldn't say I'm massively against it but I don't like it. Just can't understand the NRL's thinking here. Yes, it'll save money but now, the game, the competition (a competition that has already got underway too) is going to look completely different. Completely different. That's going to bring the argument about the integrity of the Season back and I just don't understand why you'd make such a big change to the game mid Season.
Plus, to me, this feels like the NRL have gone about it the wrong way. It's a rushed decision. There was not consultation period, no trial period and players have just two weeks to prepare for it. Like seriously?? It defies belief.
Of course, this could go the other way and along with the new six again rule, it could be awesome but at the moment I'm really not liking it.
