Nice attitude buzza.

That was Milford ...should have been given ... but of the the other 20 plus!!!!.. not worked. Much better ratio 40/20

Considered too risky a play by nrl coaches

When was the last time we saw an optional 20mtr restart with a kick to touch? 7 tackle play is preffered option, but the rule is still there. Does not say it will never be used! And with a decent kicker its still an option for a team stuck in the red zone. Booting down field into arms of the full back is not the better option. Dont see it as being a too risky play, just one thats harder to achieve, hence the reward.

If you are having to kick from that position its because you are in trouble, so getting a decent kick away is always going to be hard.

As for the Milford one, if you dont see it you cant give it!

So none then.



It won't be interesting in the slightest. Another pointless gimmick.

Do the merry whistleblowers consult with clubs on rule changes ? Seems odd to introduce something that has made didly squat of difference in NRL.

That is near enough what the coaches I asked about it said ...

Are these changes just cut and paste from the NRL or has Ganson had his thinking cap on!

Ganson would need more than a cap to be able to think.

Shows a lack of knowledge.

17 members sat on the laws committee only 2 match officials amongst that group, 1 the MO coach and 1 full time MO. Mr Ganson not on that list, or anywhere near the committee So not sure why its whistleblowers to blame.

They didnt adopt the 2 points for field goal, so not full cut and paste.

And there was a successful 20/40 in aus comp. So it can be used successfully.

A lot is probably driven by which direction the international rules will go, makes sense to align rules if at all possible.

Was there? When?

Ganson was on the committee last year when it considered changes for resumption of the 2020 season, so not that wide of the mark really. Did you not know that ?

Was about 40/45 ..20-40s in the q cup mate.

Not a great ratio

Won’t see it used

Some of the 5 a side games I played in last year ended up with 30+ goals in them, doesn't mean it happens in the Premier League.



I agree, it won't be used. Awful rule.

Buzza, this thread was about rule changes applied this year. And fact is mr Ganson was not involved. Phil Bentham was on the board.

Listy successful 20/40 was qld cup comp

Why wasn't there a single one in the NRL?



I know Super League is in a bad way at the moment but I'd hope to think its a step up from a load of bogans attempting to play RL in between drinking tinnies.

Are you aware that london broncos dont play in super league. The rule is accross all comps.

So will apply to pie eaters trying to play RL between drinking pints of tetleys

Besides having the rule there is not soleley about someone kicking one, its also about the defensive line and opening up. Hey if you dont like the rule fine, be intersting to see if any happen or if it achieves the aim and see what the opinion is then.

It isn't interesting in the slightest. It's a waste of time.

That is yr opinion listy. Thats fine.

I look forward to hearing yr thoughts if and when it gets used see if you still think its a waste of time

Listy whats yr thoughts on other rule changes?

Removal of scrums is laughable.



Six again excellent - agree not to extend it for offside as it could be abused too easily.



Others completely indifferent..

Removal od acrums is temporary.

Positioning of restarts and scrums you dont think will offer better attacking optinns

There aren't any scrums to re-position, so I think the impact will be limited.



I really cannot get my head around why they have been removed - the players may as well not bother leaving the house if they are concerned about a scrum. Even RU have retained them.

But scrums will be re introduced sometime in the season.

And restart from ball going into touch is chosen by the team restarting play

Decision on scrums was by the powers that be and based on presented safety case. Might have been at higher level, but actyally we agree on this i dont see why they were removed

Still used in NRL still used in french rugby, so dont see the logic.
