Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2144492, member: 1764"] I'm not going to name individual names, but the fact is this competition was crap this year. There were so many boring, low quality games. The way the NRL is played is boring. It's crap, predictable, defence-focussed football. The Toyota Cup is a breath of fresh air, but I hope those kids don't think the NRL is like that. You won't see attacking kicks from your own half etc in the NRL, not unless you want to get the arse. The Preliminary Finals were poor games. The Warriors-Manly one was OK, but the Warriors were dominated...the problem with 8th making it through that far really. The Sharks-Storm game - my god, probably the worst NRL game I've seen in 5 years. The Storm were terrible, and they won 28 points to blot! I think the big factors in the poor state of the games are: 1. High turnover of players (either to other NRL clubs or to ESL etc) 2. Boring defence focussed game plans and rules (the rules basically punish enterprising play) 3. State of Origin's impact, absolutely shagging 34-40 of our best players midseason 4. Length of the competition I think we have to start with some basic rule changes to try and encourage more attack. Get rid of the whole dominant/surrender business; reduce the 10 metres to 7 or 5 metres to take dummyhalf running out of the game; ban gang tackles - no more players allowed into the tackle if forward momentum is stopped (even if they have the arms free).
