Your NRL controversial take

[yobbo84]

NRL > Origin. They should do it after the Grand Final every year.

I despise how much space Origin takes up in the general Rugby League discourse.

Who cares about a glorified exhibition series which exists for the purpose of appeasing Queenslanders? To the detriment of the club competition, which pays the player's wages?

T Boon is good for rugby league

 

[Saxon]

Controversial for a Storm and Maroons fan: Munster is over rated.

You’ve just forgotten what it’s like to support a shit team for years on end.

Origin is a welcome respite from watching club footy and gives me a chance to watch elite players in a team that I support .

 

[SBD82]

A points system for players to distribute talent evenly is a dumb idea and could never work.

There’s still the Kangaroos. The internationals should be bigger than Origin but the media prefer to talk up a game that hasn’t matched the hype for a long, long time.

 

[Apey]

Thanks you reminded me of another one.

I have minimal interest in internationals besides it being more rugby league. I support them because I understand their importance for growing the sport, but I'm not invested in them in any way.

Shit opinion. I am very disappointed in you

Yes but then I have to support Queenslanders.

Ew.

I could not agree more. Being a Wests Tigers and Qld supporter, you'd have no idea how much origin has kept me sane in regard to enjoying rugby league.

 

[horrie hastings]

Premiership rounds if scores are level after 80 mins its a draw, f*ck golden point off.

 

[horrie hastings]

Only players who can pee into their own mouths should be allowed to play in the NRL.

Yep and instead of golden point have golden shower instead.

 

[Danish]

Rule changes made in the name of protecting players should be under the sole discretion of the RLPA.

if the players want to allow shoulder charges, don’t want HIAs etc, they should be allowed to vote on it and the NRL build it into their enterprise agreement to ensure legal protection.

And thanks for highlighting the problem. The game needs to get internationals to a level that’ll make you lower your trousers.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Never ask league fans their opinions.

There's a lot of kooks out there.

I remember sitting up watching the Kangaroo's playing England over there back in 1978, 82 and even 86 and even interest in the minor matches they were playing then.

 

[siv]

Players must stand up after being tackled, raise the ball 1 metre above the ground before playing the ball with your foot

 

[Woody90]

Wouldn’t consider this controversial. I think it’s what 95% of fans want.

 

[Foreign Legion]

Players wearing different coloured shoes and not pulling their socks up, Phil Gould some how still on 9, the lack international league....


Freaking he'll where do I begin

 

[docbrown]

As long as you don't put the receiver in a dangerous position you should be able to contest a ball that it's in the air whilst the receiver is leaping off the ground. It should be a proper contest.

40/20's should be allowed at any part of the field, as long as the ball lands in the opposition half uncontested before going out, whilst also going at least 40 metres. It adds a legitimate kicking attack tactic that isn't just kicking on the last tackle.

5 minute sin bins for lower tier issues.
