But but what about expanding our great game , what about Vegas ???
Expansion? Sure.

  • Unmerge Wests Tigers to reform Balmain Tigers and Western Suburbs Magpies
  • Unmerge St. Georgie Illawarra to reform the cherry-red Illawarra Steelers and St. George Dragons
  • Bring back the "Bears" playing 9 games at Central Coast Stadium, and 3 at North Sydney Oval
  • Bring Back the Newtown Jets

Sorry bro I was referring to rules changes coinciding with the gambling masses, but I see your point

You’ve just been elevated to NRL supreme leader.
what do you change?
  • Bunker for tryscoring decisions only
  • No 7 tackle set for kicks inside the attacking 30
  • Fuck off the “out of the hands backwards” bullshit. Forward is forward
  • Not held until your on the ground
  • “Golden double” - 2 points wins GP. Kick a FG? Games still on, gotta kick another
  • If you stay down and the ref stops play, you have to go off
  • No sin bins. Send offs for extreme foul play but otherwise the integrity of the contest is paramount
  • Fuck off the captains challenge
  • 40/20, 30/30, 20/40
Finally…
  • Bulldogs start every year on 4 points
Good call, what I would add is either tweak the set restart so it a "SET RESTART" by that I mean stop play announce what the 6 again was for and restart play OR fvck it off altogether. Also for things like a double knock on for instance, re-introduce a proper scrum, fed in the centre of the tunnel and a fair play for the ball.... why should the team that couldn't take clean advantage of an original mistake be rewarded with possession if they make the same mistake.

And a defending player can only strip the ball from an attacker if they were the only tackler. If a second or more tacklers join then even if they peel off the strip is illegal.

Oh and I forgot in the act of scoring a try there has to be clear downward pressure on the ball none of this "fingernail scraped the side of the ball" bullsh!t.

- No seven tackle sets. Only exception is when a team knocks on and the other team gets the ball. The non affending team should not lose a tackle for simply diving on the ball when the other team dropped it.
- Grassing leg tackles should be allowed more time to hang on. Its shit that some big bopper will target a little halfback, who pulls off a greatr legs tackle only to be penalised for not letting go straight away while the tackled players flops around like a fish out of water. They want to stop the high tackles etc, however there is absolutely zero incentive to tackle the legs.
- Rejig the "played at" rule. Sick of seeing players throw the ball into the tackler while trying a 1% catch and pass and their team get rewarded with another 6 tackles.
- Enforce players to actually play the ball on the mark. Not take 5 steps forwards or sideways putting the marker offside and gaining a penalty.

(1) NO KNOCK ON on if a player jugles the ball and it touches an opposing player, without the ball going to ground.
(2) Players been allowed to form a wall to protect a kicker during their set. It would stop late hits on Halves.
(3) At least 12 interchanges, with the 5 th interchange player repacing an injured player who is unable to return, however the injured player would have to miss the next game.
Yeah agree with point 1.
I'd like it to NOT be a knock on while the ball is still in contact with the players arm or hasn't hit the ground.

Piss the escort rule off. Unless it's a deliberate take out of the player, he doesn't deserve a clear passage to attack the footy from a kick

All that in a 2nd tier comp with 2 teams promoted and relegated.

16 team comp

Your second point is a no brainer.
apart from that I’d take the microphones out of the referees mouths
and I’d have the clock stop the moment the ball is out of play (the way it is makes us look like amateurs, it’s embarrassing!
