What is your most unpopular opinion about the NRL?

[Apey]

My team is good at rugby league

 

[umina panther]

It depends, what's the general consensus on Fox League?

I find myself listening to the 9 commentary team over the Fox team whenever I get the chance.

You're f**ked mate

 

[Big Pete]

I think you could make a passable commentary team if you combined the best from each.

Absolutely, I just prefer listening to 9s call. Especially when Sterlo, Gus, Joey & Freddy are involved since they seem to enjoy each other's company and don't take themselves so seriously.

 

[T-Boon]

the decoy run is offside.

 

[Meapro Ham]

Gus goes ok. There are far worse commentators

I don't have Fuxtel anymore but I found their commentators wooden and rehearsed.

It seems that a puppeteer has a hand up their collective arses.

 

[roostersrule2]

I think forward passes that are marginal and don't really give that much of an advantage to the attacking team should be let go.

So obviously NFL style passes would be banned but long passes that float forward or forward passes from dummy half should be allowed. As they don't really disadvantage the opposition.

More similar to Unions rules on forward passes.

 

[Meapro Ham]

Origin is a horrible spectacle. In a misguided attempt to speed up the game with low penalty counts Origin becomes one big mess of offside defences and wrestlemania, completely stifling the attack.

The average NRL game is a far better spectacle than origin.

I think this already happens to an extent. Heaps get let go from dummy half every game

Indeed but the odd one gets called and every one gets angry because it's so inconsistent. I feel like doing this would help relieve controversy in the game.

 

[El Diablo]

we should go back to a top 5 finals system

players salaries and TPA's should be made public

 

[OVP]

Dead set bog average players getting paid way too much money. This cannot last and i fear something awful will happen to the game if salaries aren't brought back to normal. The fact a guy like Mitchell Moses is getting the same money Andrew Johns or Brad Fittler used to get is laughable and cheapens the game. People are now expecting and getting mediocrity for a very high price.

 

[insert.pause]

I'm sick of the entire game and everyone in it, it is heading down a bad path that if it doesn't wake the f**k up it will go the way of union. It's a frog in a pot of water, slowly boiling to death without realising it.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Would you like your salary made public?

Don't worry. We can all find it. It's listed under Centrelink Newstart on the Human Services website....

Ignore the politics mate.. you'll be happier for it. Just like real life, it's mostly posturing and bullshit and will land somewhere in the middle.

Unpopular opinions hmm

-Scrums have a place in the modern game
-Touching the play the ball with your foot doesnt really matter
-Mitchell Pearce is a rep quality player
-Mick Gordon is a plodder
-The clubs and players are in the right in the current standoff
-The NRL season should be shorter so to fit more Internationals
-The slight decline in crowds is a direct result of crackdowns on shoulder charges and biffo and other poor refereeing and rule trends of the last 5 years
and
-It will all actually work out mostly Ok

 

[King hit]

Too many NSW clubs, and it's not even that controversial if you have your head/s screwed on correctly

Go talk to my dad who lost his North Sydney Bears if he thinks the NRL is in Sydney's corner

I totally get what you are saying.

The past 3 to 4 years have really just pushed my limits of tolerance of this great game.

Some serious changes need to be made or its going to be a slippery slope.

 

[The_Shield]

Ok I've got a couple.
1. Melbourne should be recognised winners of the 2007 and 2009 grand finals.
2. Vossy is a terrible commentator
3. Paul Gallen and the rest of the drug cheats should of been banned for 2 years
4. Introduce a 20/40 rule to go along with the 40/20

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Zero tackle rule is bullshit. Non-finals golden point is bullshit. Shoulder charges are cowardly bullshit and I'm glad they have been pole-axed.

If had enough of your anti Flash nonsense @adamkungl. Aquarium now merkin
