whats ONE thing you would change in our great game?

[Shoe1]

Bring back a mid-week knock-out comp!

Imagine - clubs would no doubt use this to trial lots of players and combos - mix a few 1st graders, with NSW cup and Holden cup players (eg Trbo, Gutherson etc). Make it unlimited interchange with a bigger bench.

The old comp was played in quarters too, so not necessarily a lot of fatigue.

Fa'oso/Mckinnon still playing our great game

1. Bring back the SHOULDER charge. I love it in the game.
Players to sign a disclaimer and let them vote on it. This way, the League is indemnified from responsibility. There are already rules in place saying you can't target a players head, even if it's an accident. So, why does the shoulder charge require to be banned? Ridiculous. It's the biggest highlight in the game. TV re-plays it constantly and uses it for promos. It's what majority of people want and the NRL is ignoring the fans and players.

2. Players who have done 10 years in one club to be exempt from the salary cap so that they can play out their career at the club they choose.

3. Constant Audit on C*nterbury, Wotsamatta and Rorters books. and Mel-Bourne too.

Audits to be done by independent, unconnected CPA's. Not I Schubert, not Greensnot, preferably accountants from UK or USA, with no NRL connections.

Get rid of Bellamy before someone dies.

Not really a rule but would like to the finals series refereed under the same rules as the regular season..

It's the same competition so how can it be different.

And yeah one ref, two is just a masterchef recipe for differing interpretations.

The one thing I'd change is that I'd stop changing it every year!!

Voss is an imbecile and a buffoon.

I like Andrew Voss. I once sent him a scratchie! (for doing some research for me)

Just shows you can be a nice guy, and still be an imbecile and buffoon. I'm glad he is a better researcher than caller.

 

[MadMarcus]

Love or hate Voss you have to respect him for staying in the media as long as he did when Hadley hates him.

 

[Brookie]

shoulder charge, bring it back!

Just seen on Fox the first half of Manly & Souths from 1987 at Redfern Oval. Ron Gibbs scored a brilliant kick and chase try but the rest of the game was just terrible to watch. Can't believe people sat through stuff back then.

Saw that game the other day in NSW.

I don't mind the standard, or style of footy back then. Today's games are better in many ways, but it's skewed more for athletes now , not ''footballers''.

Was a hell of a try from Rambo too.

[HappilyManly]

I was at the game, busy ignoring the ferals :dodgy:

The game has changed only because the modern Player is feted 7 days a week.

Those guys you critiqued, worked full time, trained 3 times in the evening after work and had zero recovery apart from the Magic Sponge

Raw talent vs fully orchestrated game plans carried out by Professional Athletes, thats the difference.

Manly has always been a mixture of the two types and thats why they maintain their top level standings

Were you born yet then? Cliffy played in those days. Research God and you'll learn.

 

[RiverEagle]

He was nicci..I had a quick look and Brissie is 44 too!

Perhaps he's a kid of the future though, and has scant regard for history, unlike the more retrospective among us...lol.

Cliffy's is God, top of that list I'm guessing.
