Message: [QUOTE="Organix, post: 3502723, member: 8187"] Things that brought about change: - Jamie Soward kicking 60-70m for the ball to go dead resulted in the 7-tackle 20m restart. This completely alters the momentum of the game when an attacking kick goes dead in goal, for example. This is, for me, a huge change that really never was critically recognised. - Melbourne's wrestle. Nuff said. - The NFL players suing the NFL for concussions and life-changing brain injuries. - Uncontested scrums. FFS. - 6-agains. - Technological advances in things like the Bunker, comms for the ref, etc. - The decline of the touch judge. Not really sure what happened here, but for some reason the touch judge seems to no longer rule on much at all. - The introduction of Brisbane into the comp and certainly the introduction of Melbourne. Above all of these things, and probably what caused all of these things to occur is the commercialisation of Rugby League as an entertainment product, rather than a competitive sport. The focus being placed on getting more engagement, rather than the contest itself. [/QUOTE]
