Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3451595, member: 1769"] here is my take: [B]Rules[/B] The very first thing that needs to happen is going back to a more traditional set of rules, rules that made this game as great as it is, and that means scrapping the bullshit six again rule. the forward pass rule back to how it was when i was a kid ... nice and simple. if the ball travels forward it is a forward pass. end of story, it doesn't matter how it came out of the hands. it just means players might have to adjust their style to compensate in tough conditions. to help monitor this the touchies need to run in line with the ball like they used to. it is the refs job to monitor the 10m, not theirs. (thanks [USER=8468]@Cult[/USER] for reminding me about this one) another change I would make is that the only time the bunker can intervene is in a try scoring situation. stay out of the general play, there is a referee and two touch judges on the field to handle general play situations. (this would also stop players diving since the bunker couldn't intervene) [B]Draft[/B] I'm starting to come around to idea of a draft. there was a good YouTube video posted on here (i forget who posted it) talking about how a draft could work in the NRL, so I'd like to expand on his idea (points 2, 3 are my additions) (video posted at the end of the post) [LIST=1] [*]Each club can pick their top 3 juniors to be protected and unavailable to be drafted by other teams (sorry Rorters) [*]Once those players are elevated to the top 30 squad they are discounted under the cap by 10-15% [*]if those on the protected list aren't promoted into the top 30 the following year, then no one else can be added without one of them being removed first (and hence can be drafted) . [*]I liked his idea about having a finals type series to determine the number one pick from the teams that miss the top 8 [/LIST] [B]Draw[/B] piss of the TV schedule and make a fair draw ... either player every other team once or a proper home and away fixture against each team. if you play everyone once, you could have the Origins on stand alone weeks. these weeks could also include a pacific islands tournament. which would fill out the comp some [B]Officiating[/B] yeah, I've got nothing. my first thought is to sack them all and start from scratch [MEDIA=youtube]0h9ctG2EJVA[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
