rule changes for 2010 ?

[nrlnrl]

I'm not suggesting there need to be any, but am interested in people's thoughts on this. eg - are you happy with 2 refs, does the interchange need further tweaking or is there anything else that might be worth trialling in Toyota Cup ?

 

[Jamskee]

Id like to see the Hitting the Kicker rule lightened up a bit.

 

[gregstar]

turnover if dummy-half tackled in possession.

Id like to see the return of the quick tap, an actual quick tap. Never mind if the defencive line isnt ready, thats their fault for kicking into touch dead.

I also think that a 50/10, 30/30, 20/40 and a 10/50 should have the same result as a 40/20. Its the same distance and can be a real momentum turner. IMO, the 40/20 rule is the greatest rule in the game.

But If I had one wish, it would be friggin consistancy. CONSISTANCY!!

I'd like to see forward passes made illegal again.

 

[Ike E Bear]

I'm with Twizzle!

-No six more tackles off a charge down.

-No more kicking for touch off "the softer" penalties. Reduces the cost of a dud ref call (which there are many of)

-The need to actually ground the ball with your hands only (none of this torso crap) and in control of the ball.

 

[RufusRex]

greater reward for a good legs tackle

Let markers stand side by side .... less dummy half running.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Let markers stand side by side .... less dummy half running.

Yep, I agree with that one too.

 

[Apey]

I'd like to see forward passes made illegal again.

The ones out of dummy half.. :crazy:

 

[Bulldog Force]

I'm not in favor of the 2 refs system, get rid of it.

 

[aussies1st]

Get rid of the separation rule, if you lose control of the ball that's the end of it.

 

[Revelation 3:20]

I would like to see
- the Refs to shut up and just Ref rather then talking the players through the game
- Dummy half forward passes to be stamped out
- Refs not to let players walk off the mark
- Bring back quick taps
- Do something about the floppy corner posts
- Get rid of the separation rule
- Touchies, what are they there for?
- Sort out a better grading system
- Sort out the 3rd refs

 

[trudge]

If the ball is out STOP the clock.

Give the fans 80 mins worth not 65.
It'll stretch out the ad revenue for TV.
It'll bring back attrition to the fitter team.

 

[Danish]

considering every rule change that has happened over the last decade which fans, coaches and media personalities alike screamed for have been a complete and utter failure, which those same morons screamed to have changed once they saw what an unworkable mess they were in practice, I vote that all rule changes be banned.


Seriously, the game wasn't toyed with for 20 years until Super League and the NRL. Now it seems like there are rule changes every year and they all suck.

in the words of that britney spears fan, LEAVE THE NRL ALONE!!!

 

[Feej]

Bring back in goal touchies and piss off the video ref.

 

[The Engineers Room]

If you catch the ball from a kick, kicked from outside your 20m, inside your 10m. You get a free kick (tap) from the spot you caught it which can be played on quickly. It would reduce the bomb and hope tactic and reward a good tough catch under pressure.

Stripping is allowed as long as the player still has forward momentum.

Getting caught with the ball from dummy half in the attacking half of the field is a changeover.

 

[Timmah]

I reckon 40/20 should be extended to 50/10 as well.

 

[Timmah]

One other thing I'd like to see is the addressing of players. Referees should only be allowed to refer to players by number [x] [jersey colour]

i.e. instead of "Hindy mate, you're offside" - try "Number 11 Yellow - offside".

Only address captains by name if you're talking face to face with them.
