Rule tweaks incoming?

[simmo05]

Roosters got hammered last night ? lol

Annesley has failed at everything he has done from political to Gold Coast boss he should be sacked as refs boss

I’m almost a fan of getting rid of the bunker totally too and let the on field ref just mistakes

Refs shouldn’t look for penalties if it’s not blatant let it go

Half the time you can’t even tell what the penalty is for

The game is way over officiated

All the video ref has done is destroy the fabric of the game. There were no 80 minute front rowers before the video ref and all its stoppages came into the game.

I'm happy for it to be scrapped and only used for a captains challenge. In that way it is for howlers only, not general shit that cannot be seen with the naked eye

Yeah nothing to do with the former players working 40-50 hours a week on a job site, smoking 2 packs a day and downing 15 schooner a night......it's all the video ref

Ah yes, that sounds exactly like a first grade player. My mistake

Do people genuinely realise how many wrong decisions would be made if they just went with refs call for every try?

 

[Someguy]

The kick off (long) won't be banned.

But punishments for high contact will be increased. The contact from NAS didn't look bad on camera but the speed they are going at makes it 10x worse.

Expect grade 3 to be the minimum going into 2025 for high contact from kick offs. Send offs mandatory.

no chance that will last for more than a month.

Yes, 100%. The Roosters particularly were laying all over the ruck through all their matches.

What they were allowed to get away with against the sea Eagles in the first half of the finals match was criminal. It's no wonder they couldn't get the ball out of their half.

As opposed to slowing down to frame by frame and still f**king it up?

I disagree.

It's not a typical crackdown on playing the ball with the foot, downtown, blockers etc. Anything to do with concussion will get megaphone media coverage and the NRL will act.

Some clubs only use there interchange players for 10 or 20 minutes a game now.. increasing the bench to 6 there would be some professional seat warmers, be pointless.

Increasing the bench to 8 allows for you to have a specialist fullback, half or wing on the bench In case of injury

Of course only the first 4 used are allowed to play

It's a matter of when not if. It just makes sense

Will work easily if we ever setup National RG

Where everyone who sits on the bench also plays NRL-RG

I'd expect in the next year or 2 the NRL will adopt something similar to the NFL's new kick off rules. The kicker still kicks from halfway, but the rest of the team on the 30m line and can't move until the ball is caught/hits the ground.

How do you get the ball back from a short restart then?

In the NFL rule they have to advise they are doing a short kick off, in which case everyone lines up as they would under the old rules.

Why is that an issue?

They should increase the bench to 8 IMO but still maintain 8 interchanges

Gives the coaches flexibility to cover all positions on the bench.

Carrying a reserve half back is an interesting thing

I don’t mind the idea you have posted above

Nothing like the element of surprise and unpredictability aye.
