The Game Rugby League Rules Ideas and Areas of Inprovement

[YoHadrian]

* Field goals from 6 yards out. Half a point.
* Field goals from 20 yards out. One point.
* Field goals from halfway. Four points.

Field goal from inside your own 20. Instant win.

More field goals. Blokes like T Boon love em

 

[This Year?]

I think Golden Point needs a shake up.

Any kick that goes out the kicker leaves the field until the game is decided. 40/20's and 20/40's don't apply.
Any penalty is a differential with the only option being a tap, but the offending player has to leave the field until the game is decided.

There’re isn’t any half point.

No sh*t sherlock. I'm proposing we invent it. NRL will be a global sports innovator. Plus it will give the opportunity for dopes to learn mathematics. Win, win.

I'm loving it. Teams trying to win the game from the kickoff when they receive the ball & instantly go for the winning field goal.

Thumbs down.

Not a serious idea, but perhaps points from Tries based on length of Try makes more sense than FGs.

Grubbers, bombs, inside 20 meters runs...3 pts.

From 20 meters to halfway...4 pts.

Halfway to own 20.... 5 pts.

Own 20 to own in goal....6 pts.

That would coerce teams to chance their arm more, like the Sea Eagles did last night vs Dolphins.

By the way, just to emphasize again what i posted a little earlier ....watching 70s league on YouTube, so much more ball playing and cool set moves than todays game.

A certain type of play you just don't see anynore which is a shame....from the play the ball, first receiver, stops, props, has multiple runners left and right running various angles, feints left and/or right then passes to one of them, often results in a line break. Little switch plays and run arounds. And teams ran the ball on the last tackle a damn lot more given scrums still meant something (so they could afford to run it on the last and hope to win the scrum).

Loving the 70s videos on Youtube that i find.

Should never have got rid of toeing ahead or raking the ball in the play the ball. Coaches can’t coach against the unexpected so whoska, it went. Guys like Gus lament the modern game - lol - you created it merkin. Reap what you sow.

Golden point needs a bullet.

Draws are perfectly fine in the regular season. Golden Point only entertains chaos lovers like me, everyone forgets how to play footy and just does 3-5 hitups followed by a bomb or a panicked field goal shot that usually wouldn't hit Latrells gunt.

 

[Perth Red]

I’d change the restart if you go for a penalty goal and miss but ball goes dead. Should be a tap restart to defending team, not a drop out back to attacking team. You shouldn’t be rewarded for missing the kick!

One point?

 

[Perth Red]

One point?

No point

 

[MugaB]

No point

That was a subtle nod to the game of ALF

1. Remove 2 point FG's

2. Balls caught on the full inside your 20 will give you a 7 tackle set from the 20 m line. (this will stop endless bombs)

3. Contracts to be done after and before the season starts, not mid-season, unless signing somebody with no current contract.

4. Barking at the ref should be 10 in the bin. If you want to challenge, use that instead of behaving like a brat.

5. Refs/Bunker to be accountable for decisions made after the game in post match interviews.

6. Professional fouls should have a player binned, and also a penalty in line with the posts, but instead of a goal kick, it's a 1 on 1 situation with designated players. Attacker starts on 20 m line, defender on goal line, can only move in between goal posts. Teams can opt out and play on, also.

a separate tunnel for bald players to enter the field

Sorry but I can't agree with that one at all. With many of our rugby league media, that have NFI about the actual laws of the game. One of my former referee coaches told me about efforts that were made by the ARL to educate the old Channel 9 commentary team in the late 1990s about the rules, and he said they just refused to accept what was being told to them by people who were the actual coaches of the referees. He told me whilst Ray Warren got some of it, Fatty and Sterlo in particular were hopeless.

As such could you imagine the referee and bunker officials being grilled post match by idiots like Sloth, Kent, Hooper et al at the end every game? You'd just be exacerbating the focus on refereeing issues. It won't fix anything, just make it worse as they'll just carry on and on about it when the media don't agree. Also the Bunker official is back in Sydney and not at the ground anyways.

They could stream it, also not being grilled by reporters is a great idea. Independent group.

I think they need to bring back the rule that the attacking players need to be back 5m from the ruck.
