[QUOTE="Finbar, post: 3220091, member: 9719"] This is spot on. Rugby League used to be perfectly paced. I never heard anyone complain about the speed of the game other than the wrestle, but go back and watch some older games and the referees used to be pretty lenient with how long you could lie on a bloke for so I think even that is overstated. There's value in stoppages in sport, but now the NRL just seems way too frantic and is not as enjoyable to watch. I want to be able to take a piss or grab a drink and not miss 3 sets of six (with 4 restarts and a 7-tackle set just for good measure) The NRL's own article about the rule changes is a joke. 2-point field goal[I] - "To encourage more unstructured play and increase the chances of a result changing in the final moments of a game."[/I] How does a 2-point field goal encourage more unstructured play? Are they saying that a 40m+ field goal is an unstructured play and therefore it will be encouraged because it's worth 2 points? Fucking geniuses. Then they go on to talk about how important scrums are, then immediately follow it by saying they are removing scrums when the ball goes out of touch! [ATTACH type="full" width="529px"]11552[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="528px"]11551[/ATTACH] I'm going to lose it when I hear that stupid horn 3 times over in one set of six (or anytime the idiot forgets to disable it after a scrum/drop-out and we all just pretend like this isn't the most amateurly run sport in the country). You watch this sport with someone new and they ask what the horn means after a scrum or a dropout and you have to tell them that the guy forgot to turn off the shot-clock horn. I could go on and on about all this but the reality is that the rule changes aren't for our benefit. Quicker games equals more tries which is when they get to run ads. The rest of the game gets condensed so they can fit the match into the allocated timeslot easily. [/QUOTE]
