Knock on advantage equals 5 or 10m Penalty advantage = 15 or 20m For both you have max three 3️⃣ phases or 20 seconds Don’t make it, ball comes back.

Use it lose it would encourage more ball running or attacking kicking I guess. There’s 5-7 easy tweaks that could be made

agree on the water boy front. when did they start running all over the field and creating water breaks. if you are thirsty, there are times when play has stopped and you can call for water (after a try is scored) or if there is an injury that is stopping the game. otherwise - if you really need...

the nfl is attractive because it has many of the best athletes in the world playing a fast paced game that when it is on, it is basically just action. Canadian Football League (CFL) is materially less popular on a relative basis in Canada mainly because 1) the structure of the game is inferior...

I would also add that you can take about fan engagement all you want and social media and whatever else, but if you draw people in, without good product you aren't going to keep them. so fix the game first, draw people in and keep them there with good product. when it is good, it is very good...

honestly just make it a 30 second advantage and if it comes back - tack that 30 seconds onto "injury time".

injured players is tough cause safety has to be paramount for the injured player so getting off the field not always easy. i suppose in the instance you can't get yourself off the field, the game could be stopped, you get off and a free kick to the team that had the ball with a sub coming on...

Agreed The current advantage setup can be ridiculous. You have three phases to advance 10-15m if you don’t the penalty comes back. Some of these absurd advantages are absurd in length of time.

I’d be shocked if someone isn’t saying let’s speed up the game and up ball in play. I would have clocks to get set for a line out and if you delay beyond that it’s a free kick to the opposite team. Same story on scrum and the clock doesn’t start until the ball is fed into the scrum Keep the...

Absolutely. Focus on our own backyard. There is going to be natural crossover among players which usually favors us and just leave it at that. If someone steps up and says “I want to switch” well then deal with it but targeted poaching leads to a tit for tat scenario and the entity with the most...

Completely agree. He is a relief. Hamish looks stupider by the day

Glad he’s not there end of the day anymore as I can kind of see why states wouldn’t trust his bombastic blow hard nature. Hell of a year

The Hammer started out well in the depths of covid slashing costs and boostin/securing revenue but....you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain....yikes. his last 12 months are a debacle. not meaning to be captain hindsight here but how do you only offer mark a...

Wont blame mark but will blame Hamish here.

Living i Living in general in France is far cheaper than aus tho Food, booze, rent (outside certain markets but small town France is not overly expensive)

Dumb decision. the stadium only needs to be 20k. I’m sure they can fit something in town

Borrowing more to pay off loans Probably lower attendance at test matches this year too unless super teams can put in a showing and build excitement

Absolutely. They have a small window to get it absolutely right. World Cup and lions help but they HAVE to be competitive fast otherwise if both those pass and the wallabies suck, rebels and force fold and it’s three super teams again

I agree Ideally we can all reformat it to make it a better profuct End of the day I think a reformed super is the best option. If the playing depth and money improve then you could look at a domestic comp but that’s 20 years from now I reckon all going well. Super is 70% fixed by better Aussie...

Ya there’s a few adjustments the game needs to be more appealing while still being rugby. Has nothing to do with aus struggling to me as I see same annoying things in other teams games. The games at the cup with high ball In play were sensational and they need more of that. Some will say but nfl...
