not big on golden point.

Think sometimes a draw is a fair result.

Glad interchanges getting reduced to 8.

Should help to reduce the size of some of the players and reduce the incidence of guys who can only play for 10 minutes at a stretch in favour of real rugby players who can put in 60 to 80 minute stints

Shot clocks are good as should help get rid of the time wasting we see.

Annoys the hell out of me seeing both teams ambling to scrums without a care in the world. By limiting their rest time again it means players have to have more stamina rather than size.

Free play got a bit silly at times with players just doing stupid stuff.

Golden point I think is an awful decision. Nothing wrong with a draw and the extra 10 mins is just going to be 2 tired teams trying to whack drop goals from 40/50m out. The Cas/Saints SF from the other year was obviously exciting but that’s because what was at stake, a regular league game can’t match that and I thought we were trying to make an effort to make sure games don’t end too late? The introduction of ‘shot’ clocks helps this but then you add the potential for 10 more mins (with breaks between FT and restarting making it a potentially 15 mins later finish) and completely flip flopping on that, granted it’s not like draws are very common but still totally unnecessary imo.

The interchange rule is good, would’ve like to seen something about the ruck and feigning injuries which is hurting games more and more:

Don’t mind seeing FreePlay go, the idea was well meant but instead of teams keeping hold of the ball and getting a quick PTB and taking advantage of a team who is scrambling to organise its defence after just being on attack it just seemingly ended up with a prop or 2nd row hoofing the ball down field in the faint hope that his winger could somehow chase it down.

Looks like you are following all current NRL rules. Shot clocks already in with interchange at 8 and plans to reduce it further but still 8 in 2019.

Main problem here with GP. is that normal rules(mainly 10 metres and offside) go out the window as refs are reluctant to blow a penalty. Ideas to restrict the number of field goals/team to encourage more try attempts have not gained any currency.

Maybe golden point should be try only. Take the pressure off the ref, and stop all games being won by whichever team Gareth O'Brien is playing in.

Stop clock is good, but how do they deal with feigned injuries, as that is frequently the problem with dropouts?

Poor decision - Doesn't encourage teams to attack! Will not affect Leeds, as last season we were never in a position for a procession of desperate drop-goal attempts!!!

On the golden point subject, I don't see why people get their knickers in a twist. It's very rare we have draws, and whilst I get the sentiment of being happy with a point, the golden point is more entertainment for your money, at worst case scenario, you're getting more game time for your entrance fee.
I like it as a concept, agree about the issues with refs putting the whistle in their pocket, but overall it adds to the drama at the end of the game, and anything that does that makes the game more interesting - will no doubt ads controversy, but at least that will give the press something to write about.

On the whole, I just wish as a sport that we could agree to having 1 set of rules, governed internationally so that all levels of the game (at least professionally) are playing to the same rules. This is a step in the right direction.

of course not, that would be far too sensible an idea for the RFL

I think we might see some teams start playing 80 min hookers, and maybe stop using the loose as a third prop. I don't think we'll see any difference to props though, with four still being selected in the side, doing roughly 40 mins each between two spells.

Damian Irvine :
Golden Point.

A common criticism since its introduction in the NRL is that a team who earns a draw over 80mins walks away pointless if beaten in golden point.

Solution: both teams get 1 point for the draw at 80mins with the golden point winner getting an extra point.

Golden point sucks as more often than not its decided by a drop goal. Taking away draws when an extra 10 mins can result in a draw anyway makes no sense.

I would of liked to of seen the kicking the ball dead 7 tackle rule changed. Attacking kicks made in the 20 metre zone shouldn't be punished. That isnt kicking a ball dead.

Still no change with the PTB which is a disappointing. Another year of farcical non play the ball.
