lets get the game back to its former glory. what we need to do:

  • teams only wear away jerseys if the home jerseys clash
  • Warriors change their jerseys back to their original blue design with a splash of white, green and red
  • City Ford will start sponsoring Easts again
  • Easts shall be known as Easts, rather than the Sydney Roosters
  • Licorice allsorts jersey for the panthers
  • jerseys to be made from cotton
  • socks must be pulled up (wear garters or use tape - just keep them up)
  • wear black boots. no more coloured boots (Dragons fullback has dispensation and can wear white boots if he wishes)
  • 8=lock, 9, 10= second rowers, 11, 13= props, 12= hooker
  • centres to be known as centre-three-quarters, wings to be called wing-three-quarters
  • Rex the Moose to call the games again
  • Simply the Best to be the theme song for rugby league

If these steps are taken, the product of rugby league will drastically improve.

any other suggestions

· Cardboard corner posts (kids are allowed to run on the field and take them after fulltime)

· A bit of hessian around the goal posts instead of bulky padding

· Leather ball

· Get rid of the red lines and reinstate the 22 metre lines

· Dragons to be sponsored by Penfolds Wines

· State Bank replay

· Saturday afternoon games broadcast on ABC

legalise swinging arm tackles

NSW to be allowed to pick all players playing in NSW

Manly to be exempted from the salary cap

All club mergers dissolved and any premierships won under merged conditions replaced with an asterisk

1. Jerseys have real collars, not these stupid asymetrical nike-inspired neck swooshes, and they should probably also have players names on the back of them.

2. Return of the "clothesline" and "coathanger" tackles and subsequent commentator calls. Hopefully this would also lead to the reinstatement of the "He's in Disneyland!!" call which I miss horribly. I feel Billy Slater and Gringles have really lost out here.

3. Muddier fields.

  • Striking/raking in the play the ball to return.
  • Each player is individually introduced in the grand final.
  • The tap ahead rule to return when there is no marker.
  • Panasonic Cup to return on a Wednesday night.
  • Parramatta to change jerseys at half time from predominantly blue to predominantly gold.

That is all.

Henny effin Penny emblazoned across the Knights jumper. Bring back the Marching Koalas too for pre-match entertainment. Name the new stand at Ausgrid "The Brett Grogan Stand".

I really want the jersey to go back to basic designs. Im so sick of all these shit jerseys that we play in these days. I understand some marketing douche is telling the clubs to change them every year to increase sales by 0.4%... but give me a brand new jersey with just stripes or the V any day of the week.

Surely when we look back at highlights of games for the last ten years... there will be hardly any times when we say..."oh that was an awesome jersey." Especially being a tigers fan...
