Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2626613, member: 1899"] I sat down and wrote an entire thesis on the standards of Rugby League vs 2004, never got around to it and have neglected this thread ever since. The game is going fine right now. Could always be better and plenty left to improve but it's on the right track. I reckon I said yes by a small margin. Teams are a lot smarter now than they were a decade ago and the competition is far more even too. Back in the day, most of the games weren't even worth watching where as there always seems to be a hook or surprise in each game this year. 16 teams is the way to go for the time being. While I believe a few clubs need to be introduced, I also think a few clubs have got to go, so in the end it may just fall into 16 team category. Agree on Perth & Wellington. They're the ideal teams but hope they've learned a lot since the Reds days. Only lived there for relatively short time but the community didn't buy into the ARL at all. Lots and lots of fuss about the AFL, still remember a bunch of kids trying to give me grief over the Bears - like I gave a shit. Necessary evil although 9 are basically shooting themselves in the foot. Hopefully they come through on their promise to make the Sunday afternoon game live, broadcast the games in HD, advertise the sport better and hire better commentators. I don't hate the man, but Gilbert isn't fit to call League. Having watched enough NYC, I can tell you now the NRL will absolutely HATE the captain's challenge. You're basically inviting the video referees more and more into the game - they're terrible at their jobs and it makes for an absolute lottery. [/QUOTE]
