I don't know. Maybe if I did I'd be doing more than just offering opinion on here. At the end of the day it's a joke to have a 'professional' sport where the rules differ depending in which way the wind blows. I do know the Aussies find it hard to look past their own coastline but surely with the right people holding the meetings, they can make people realise the state of the game and what needs to be done.
I don’t see it as a joke, it’s simply where the sport is at. Until we develop more nations that can compete with Australia or SL improves its on and off field strength then the Aussies are going to call the shots.
The only alternative is for us to accept whatever rule changes they bring in regardless of whether they’re suitable or not.
Or we have slightly different rules. I don’t see it as an issue at all. It’s not like one set of rules has eliminated forward passes or offside or anything. They’re very minor differences.
Most sports also have slight differences in rules from league to league or internationals. Such as the multi-ball system or VAR in football along with different rules to rank teams level on points between leagues and European/International comps.
