I hate everything about this, it’s not even just the rule I don’t like it’s the approach of changing things in the fly, to achieve a goal (speeding the game up) that the consumer isn’t pleading for. A slow game isn’t costing the nrl, I don’t get the fascination. Just quit fucking with the rules and figure out how to police them better. Fuckin fuck
Spot on. Don't know where they've gotten this obsession that faster game inherently = better game.
At this rate we'll end up with tap restarts for every penalty stoppage. Kick offs? Fuck em. Conceding team gets a tap restart at the 20 with a 7 tackle set and a 10 second shot clock for the try scoring team to get back onside. And every kick at goal can be taken consecutively at the end of the half, since that's probably the biggest time drain.
Christian Welch put it perfectly: “Please just leave our game alone. The tension, grind, pressure & game management almost already gone. Would love the commission for less gimmicking with the rules & more focus on bigger picture strategy.”
