yeh true, but that's in the future and we're talking about what's happened in the past

probably many other issues at stake as well, so be interesting to see what happens when his next contract is played out
Well 2021 was the future last time Ayoub and Gutherson turned contract negotiations into a f**king circus. Why would it be any different next time?

Who cares I f**king love this game and can’t wait until the season starts.
Yeah its a good game but it needs better rules if you ask me.
There needs to be more exciting big plays being made like in American football.
I think NRL struggles to put together a good 10 minute youtube highlight for each game. Youtube is where the younger generation will be watching games in the future. American football 10 minute youtube highlights are stunning.

I don’t want to talk to a human, no way.

That bot is very clever.

One day bots will take over the game. There will be no need for us at all.

Then your developer doesn't understand the concept of return on invested capital.

You are a man who likes excitement. NFL is all about big plays. But it has plenty of floors. Main one being there is 10,000 rules and you could blow a penalty on every play if you wanted and call a hold or interference.

NRL I feel is a slow burn. And relaxing to watch. Not as exciting as NFL but easier to watch.

One rule that needs to be changed tho is try scorer should kick off. Sides who score usually have already had a lot of possession. They've been rewarded with points. Games can be taken away with a 15min period of possession and ruin the other 65mins based in one side not getting the ball.

No I never saw that game. I am not that into NFL. I watch college and almost all the games have big play making and thrilling passing in behind the defense that is risky due to the threat of interceptions, or running backs slicing through off on a big run, or defenders making a big play. The beauty of the game is just about every snap one of the two teams wins and sometimes it is a big exciting win and then there is the first down wins or forcing the team to punt. Basically there is a lot of intermediate winning and losing in the game.
In RL there is not enough winning and losing. It is sort of an arm wrestle between 2 dudes of equal strength and so the arms remain in the middle a lot.
That is new as well. The game use to have a lot of winning and losing.

It don't think it is the number of rules that creates the potential for a lot of penalties to be called (there really aren't that many rules compared to RL). It is more the number of contests per play. Basically there are 11 men on each side 100% involved in the contest on every play and more to the point each of them is involved in a one on one contest (though the linemen are double teamed etc). So that means you could possible find an infringement somewhere.
I think of Gridiron as the code of rugby that became popular by changing its rules gradually but enormously. RL SHOULD do the same gradually. R should just stay bound to its boring roots.
