Just like to see what everybody thinks of our "premier" competition.
PS you can pick more than one option.

Totally agree and very well said ... summed up perfectly in the last paragraph...if it ain't broke, don't fix it.I needed something imbetween incompetent and good. Ill go 65% good.
I think fans, the public want to love NRL.
I think fans would grow in numbers, family traditions would follow as they always have if the NRL is run well.
There isn't going to be a breakdown/disintegration of the NRL anytime soon so...
The NRL should show a little more respect to the game of Rugby League in this country.
By that I mean changing the fabric of the sport shouldn't be taken lightly yet every year they introduce rule changes.
Some are WTF unnecessary. 20/40, why waste time contemplating such a rule. How did that even become a discussion let alone make it out of the room.
Why would you mess with something so precious that doesn't belong to you?
I know people don't like scrums but if there weren't so many rule changes and poor officiating over the last 20 years, then perhaps scrums would still be exciting in the dying moments of big matches.
I understand there has always been rule changes.
last 25 year bunker, betting, technologies, even the print media has a greater impact on the game.
Players once held day jobs, now they're socialites with wags and make the headlines because the world is a different place.
If it aint broke, don't fix it.
If it doesn't belong to you, leave it alone. If change is 'necessary', show some respect.
League has become too complex.
I reckon baa wished he played today with all the money that’s around. All sport requires supreme fitness at the elite level. I think this will allow more skills to be utilised with tiring defensive linesBold prediction: the new new new ruleset (as opposed to the ruleset from last year, or the other ruleset from last year) will either get dumped part way through the season, or it will be insisted upon and the outcome will be a decline in skills as fitness becomes a bigger and bigger part of the game and blokes who have great skills but aren't uber fit can't get a run in the top grade.
Baabaa will be watching all this and thinking "jeez, glad I played in 80-90s". And we ought to be too, we got to see a magician play for many years in our colours. That won't be happening any time soon under the current system.
Agree to disagree. Time will tell though. I suspect Baa would be finding ingenious ways to slow down play, and I suspect that more and more players will be doing so in 2021. Papenhousen last night might have been a case in point, and if so that would kind of argue against the whole "tiring defensive lines" argument, as he would probably be one of the players most expected to be taking advantage.I reckon baa wished he played today with all the money that’s around.
