We're in a never ending cycle.
Rule changes get brought in to try and manufacture what someone perceives to be a more exciting game, then they don't work and we go with someone else's version of what a more exciting game looks like, rinse and repeat. When the real problem is we keep f**king changing the rules!
And all we end up with is a cluster f**k of a rule book that even those tasked with the job of trying to enforce it struggle to understand all the inconsistencies.
Sure rules need to be tinkered with over time to reflect where we are as a society but we need to stay true to what the game is. Let the coaches and players dictate where the game heads, NATURALLY!
Sure that means we'll go through unpopular era's like Bellamy's WWE reign but so be it, that's part of our history. Right now we're in an era where the power running athlete runs supreme, who knows where the game heads next but let the coaches and players decide that and let the administrators look after everything else off the field... how it should be.
