  Geez must be a really predictable game if you're guarenteed to score just by running the exact right lines.

  I really have virtually no appreciation of this game. All I read from these comments is the production of automotrons that are expected to move like athletic versions of chess pieces. I know that plenty of knowledgeable rugby league people enjoy it, but it seriously does nothing for me.

    Hi 60s, I think that u have hit the nail on the head with your reference to Chess pieces. NFL really strikes me as a game of Footy Chess comprising distinctive set plays with one side executing an offensive play directly offset with the opposing team executing a complimentary defensive play then when each set is executed, the players line up to undertake the next set.

    To the uninitiated including myself, it seems motion-ally erratic until a line break occurs. A series of stop & start sets with the game seeming to not really flow.  Even the QB seems very restricted with controlling strictly defined plays. I know that we have structured play in the NRL but we also seem to have a blend of ad hoc involvement by the players.

    I can partially understand the frustrating comments by both the coaches & Hayne. Disciplined & structured play expected by the coaching staff versus the instinctive nature of Hayne with the ball in hand. In a nutshell, team play versus individual initiative.

    Yes it may seem like a football chess which is boring.... Obviously you don't like chess lol. What I have found is that it is a acquired taste and you learn to appreciate the skill involved the more you watch and learn about it
