Game of sheep is where you have to submit an answer to each question that is the answer you think will be the most common answer from the forum.   The idea is to figure out who knows the forum members the most.  You don't enter what you think the answer is, but what you think the forum will think the answer is.  Best explained with an example:

For example, lets say the question is "What year will Kevin Walters get sacked"

Lets say 20 people answer and 5 say 2021, 15 say 2022.  

The 5 people who answered 2021 will get 5 points.  
The 15 people who answered 2022 will get 15 points

Highest points at end is champ.
The idea therefore is to not submit the answer you believe. So even if you think he'll get sacked in 2021 - the best answer is to say next year because that's what most people answered.

Yes. Don't like this recycling of ideas. An administration with real vision would try something new. I suggest:

- Alternating kickoff a la netball

- Contested restarts where each team selects a player from the opposing team to race from their respective goal lines to the ball placed at halfway. All other players must remain a minimum 10m back

- A ham wheel that gets spun to determine who gets to kick off each restart (imagine the betting opportunities!)

- Both teams kick off simultaneously - with 2 balls in play there will always be action guaranteed! No-one will know what's going on, but that seems to be the aim of the ARLC anyway

I think the two balls in play has a lot of merit.  You might see teams concede a try in the corner so they can score one under the posts.

Also only allowing an interchange to the team that just conceded a try would help with balance.  Once a team uses all their interchange they can use any unused players on the opposition bench.  Fans would love it.  Any points scored by these loaned players would also count towards the for and against on the ladder for their official team.
