It has been announced today that the NRL has started the process to change the name of the competition. This comes after moves from the NRL to stamp out every facet that makes the game what it is and has been for 100 years.
As yet the NRL have not confirmed the new name, but it is believed that they are deciding between,
NNL (national netball league)
NFBL (National Fluffy Bunny League)
NWBL (National Wet Blanket League)
It's widely believed that David Gallop was horrified that a contact sport resulted in punch ups over the weekend and feels strongly that the game should take on a softer more PC friendly appeal.
Along with the name change of the competition, moves are also being made to rename certain parts of the game itself.
From here on out, tackles will be renamed to "Cuddles" and all players must stop dead before the cuddle, embrace and kiss each other on the cheek.
Scrums will be renamed to Orgies, or love fests, and each player in the scrum will be required to say at least one nice thing to the opposite player, and all will have to embrace individually before packing the orgy.
The kick off will be renamed to "Ball Sharing" to encourage a friendlier, more mutually respective environment.
The "sin Bin" is being renamed to "The Naughty Corner" where the referee will sit the player down and explain to them what they have done wrong. Accordingly the 5 and 10 minute limit will be removed and players will be allowed back on when they feel they understand what they have done wrong, and are ready to say sorry to the other player and referee
Another startling move, has been announced also, where the score of the game will no longer be kept, as it is believed this can lead to animosity and competition, when the game is really after simply promoting brotherly love of your fellow man.
The premiership trophy will also be replaced with a vase of flowers.
It is hoped that these moves will bring more fans from other codes, like the AFL where similar measures have been in place for several years.
