It’s gone a bit touch footy-ish. U can’t make mistakes playing like this, the ramifications r usually far worse than a slower game

Interesting to see we’ve changed our game day plan.

last 2 years we’ve travelled to intestate games the morning of the game, yet the boys are on a plane right now.

wonder what the thought change was as BA had previously explained the game day travel as being a more ideal plan.

We won 2 from 3 interstate games last year
Maybe they're just going to fly around all day tomorrow, landing an hour before the game.

I reckon some of the new rules aren't about making it a faster game but are more to do with having the ball in play longer.

If they want to make it faster they should be looking at ways to protect the players, like extra bench spot or more changes

if its all about making it faster and entertaining the crowd, which is fair enough, and dont compensate the players with extra inter changes or what ever , then they'll be out on their feet for the last 10 mins and that wont help the entertainment aspect of the game

not sure they thought that one through

Making the game faster just benefits strong teams more and tends to blow out scores. What they really need is to reduce ways for one team to dominate possession, which would radically alter the game. It starts with reducing penalties for risky play, because this is actually what fans want to see, not necessarily faster play.
