10. A lot more line breaks from kick returns (there were actually non last year do people know that).

Is this true? If so its a shock when you consider guys like Walsh, Ponga, Turbo etc bringing the ball back. When I think about it though basically every team does those g*y little bombs that land 20ms out and defence is on the winger/fullback immediately.

Slows it down and cleans it up.
How does an extra process clean it up? Doesn't it give more upside to knocking a player "innocently" of course.

And normally everyone is complaining about the ruck being slowed down by the defense.

Feels like it just gives more benefit to defensive ruck shenanigans

What do you mean by this?

You want them to stop tackling?
It’s this thing where the defense will, for example, back peddle to keep the integrity of the line above everything else. Happily concede 10m plus hit up. You see it on the try line the most obvious. Actually the defense prefers to be defending from the try line. Making discipline the highest priority in defense (above someone pulling off a big play) has made it dang boring.

More control required and care taken so it's cleaner.

1. Perth announced, all home games in WA unless Magic Round or Vegas based
2. Record broadcast deal. Nine either made to pay up or gtfo.
3. On Nine again. Fix up their tragic, dated coverage of the game or, again, gtfo.
4. The death of split custody arrangements. Tigers and Dragons pick and stick with a particular location.
5. 5PEAT
6. New Caledonia team for the QLD cup.
7. Submissions for 20th team start coming in.
8. Future NRLW grand finals announced to take place separately at SFS. The ladies deserve their big day to take place in front of a sell out crowd and I think they can sell out that place and provide something really special.
9. Panthers to top the all important Roy Morgan fanbase poll OMG you guys!!!!
10. The tree that ended Kenty’s career gets listed as a world heritage site.

But it's only "cleaner" under the definition of the additional constraint.

Doing it without the constraint applying is also clean.

It's an unimportant expression of control.

Has there ever been a person lauded for their play of ball in the historyof the game out side of pure speed?

I'm not used to you being (mostly) serious, well done.

1-4 good. 8 interesting. Doubt they could sell it out but it might be worth a try. The day before the men? Or perhaps the previous weekend.

Yeah the day or week before.

They’re taking stand alone origins to big stadiums now so I don’t see why they can’t do the same for the grand final.
