Another quality post from LU's eternal pre-schooler.

So you want to introduce a kick quota? Someone does a chip and chase on tackle 4 and regathers. They bomb on tackle 5 -penalty. Too many kicks.........](*,)


Any kick, why do you get another kick. It is worth a trial and that is what these exhibition games are for.

A few people on the piss here last night?

Scrums replaced by tunnel ball. First team to get the ball through all sets of feet three times gets the ball

Here's an experience - cancel the dead rubbers. That way I don't have to watch any more of my team's crap than I already have.

How about we trial:

- One referee.
- No video ref.
- Reintroduce in goal judges.
- 8 Interchanges

Benefits:
- Referees forcing themselves into position to make a decision rather than be lazy.
- In Goal Judges assists the referees in grounding.
- No players diving in hope of the video referee finding a penalty.
- If introduced will mean only 8 referees in top grade instead of 16.

Jaimee Rogers should be the ref for every dead rub her game. I wouldn't mind getting the rub of her green just quietly:sarcasm:

f**k off with this experimenting BS. The 2 ref system is the biggest experiment fail of the last 20 years in rugby league.

Enough tinkering for the sake of it. STOP CHANGING SHIT THAT AINT BROKEN...unless it's just to undo the shit that are previous changes, like the 2 refs.

Wouldn't mind this. Maybe 6 interchanges.

Phase out this no seperation "Score a try with your pinky" bullshit..

Have a panel of 3 in the video ref booth, Each person makes a decision on whether or not it should be a try based on common sense.
whatever the majority decision is, thats the final ruling

Everyone plays naked and greased up with pig fat...

Players would be so hard to tackle, it would resemble last nite's tigpies v eels game..

Perhaps a few from -

* 5 Minute Sin Bin
* No dominant/surrender tackle calls - all they need to say is get off
* All Tacklers Must Act As Markers
* Tap Option After A Penalty
* A general 40 metre kick advantage rule - from within a team's own half into opposition half -
* One on one rake
* Ball kicked dead in goal to be immediately returned to kicker's line for quick tap
* Contested charge downs - defensive player within 10 metres of a kicker can charge down the ball with any part of his body except with open hands and not knock on. If the kicking team regathers it's still the same tackle.
* A one on one hit on a kicking player is legal if the defender is already within 5 metres of the kicker - except for a dangerous position
* When there are no markers standing square, then a quick tap should be allowed

Captains challenge. Same as cricket. Same as tennis. The only time the video ref is used is for foul play and captains challenge. The refs can just make their decisions then. There won't be any wasted time for players bluffing the put down.

I approve of this idea :thumn
