It's tackling in the game that's slowing things down - Every now and again you'll see a big shot which is great, but more and more teams are using certain tackling techniques i.e. wrestling and lying on for longer, grapple tackles etc.
Just visit youtube and watch the NRL best tries and none of them would get scored by super league players in the same position. There is not enough skill and the game is not currently quick enough in many areas, the only way our game will appeal to other people is by it being one of the fastest games with something going on all the time.
Super league has gone down hill and It is very disapointing and I am sorry but it is the cap, it holds Leeds, Wigan, Warrington... all teams who spend to the full cap, backwards.
We may have a more even competition but does that make it more exciting?
I remember it being more exciting when you genuinly could not call who was going to win the title as we had 4 teams right at the top!
We need to change the cap, maybe spending a certain percentage of what amount of money you make or something like that. Then clubs would be rewarded for bigger crowds and bigger sales and clubs would be encouraged to invest. Young players would be even more valuble.
The competition and rugby league as a whole in this country is awful, its all down to the RFL and the lack of forward thinking.
IMO the way to sort out RL is to put Maurice high up at the RFL.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

The world cup he organised was superb.
He is one of the only people in the game high up with major ambition and the knowledge to achieve this.
Just keep away from the finance side of things and we will be fine.
I also think the RFL should get some tips from Mick Hogan to market games. Our game will not grow anymore from now if we do not fill the stadiums in big games and for internationals!
RL as it stands is going no where and no one seems to care about it! In 20 years time we will be no better off or worse off if we don't do something about it.

Now we have
Sinfield
Mcguire
Burrow
Pryce
Wellens
But we also have
Morley
Peacock
Burgess
O'loughlin
Graham
Gidley
Tomkins
We still have quality players who are not overated like the first bunch, we have superstars of our game but no one outside the sport has a clue about them.

What about the one benji marshall set up that is the best assist for a try I have ever seen! Unbelievable.
Hayne's is pretty damn good as well.
