OK, fellow hacks, what are some of the ideas in here that could actually be viable?

Example:

Supporter Aidan McLean says he wants golden-point games decided by four-pointers, not solitary field goals. "Golden try - not golden point extra time," he said. "A drop-goal should win you the game at the end of extra time - not immediately."



And this one, which I don't quite agree with, ties into one real good idea that I have. But I'll post that one after a few other postings.


"Season to be reduced to 20 games with no byes. Cheaper food and drink prices and free transport on buses, ferries and trains."

Meanwhile fan Matt Breen likes the "challenge" system Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens first mooted several years ago.

"NFL/tennis style challenges," he wrote. "Each coach gets two or three cards to challenge a call by the ref.

"If correct, he keeps his card, if incorrect, he loses it."



Get fucked Matt

I bet you all the people who complain its too expensive to go to the footy spend thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars a year on things like cigarettes,alcohol,gambling etc etc



I can afford to lose money gambling but i can't afford to go watch Manly lose by 40,,,,,

Slowing the game down like NFL

Viewers sitting around for 5 mins waiting for a challenge decision




Already have 2 refs on the field and a video ref and this box wants a challenge system,,,,,,

Challenging the ref,,,,,,get over it,there will always be bad calls in sport,you can never get it perfect,,,,,


Die Matt die

A spastic like Ricky Stuart(biggest complainer of refs ever) would use up all 3 of his challenges in the first 3 pentalties against his team and a 80 min game would turn into a 240min game due to all the time wasting




Ricky Stuart,,,,,
Rostos,,,,,,,,,,,

OK, here's my idea - I'm just fishing for some validity.

I think it would help if the league would emphasize rivalries.

Split the league into 2 divisions with a 22 regular game season schedule so the league can work around Origin with the bye weeks. That way we won't be watching a bunch of benchers and juniors during  the Origin weeks.


* teams travel with their rival - explain later


       North / City Division

1. North Queensland
2. Brisbane

3. Gold Coast
4. Newcastle

5. Sydney Roosters
6. Souths

7. Manly
8. West Tigers


     South / Sub  Division      (Sub = Suburb)

1. Penrith
2. Parramatta

3. New Zealand
4. Canberra

5. St. George
6. Cronulla

7. Canterbury
8. Melbourne




a. Every team plays a round robin schedule within their division and every club from the opposite division once = 22 matches.

b. Every team ends their season playing their rival/traveling club and plays them the 1-2 weeks before the 1st State of Origin

The only way that would work if each half was limited to 2 video ref replays, called only by the teams, instead of sitting through the video ref on every other try, which is what happens now.

Adam Bagnall had several initiatives he would like implemented.

"Scrap the second Friday night game and have a game on Saturday afternoon," he wrote.

"City-Country to be played before the season kick-off.

"Season to be reduced to 20 games with no byes. Cheaper food and drink prices and free transport on buses, ferries and trains."




Get a job Adam

need something to keep the lower teams interested at the end of the season. Tey have no draft to work on, nor relegation to avoid. They just give up

no mention of Gallop or the news ltd mob who did the negotiations and allowed channel 9 to dictate scheduling.
