Just wondering what others think. I know im only an old bloke but have watched the game grow and change so mych over the years. But is it going to far . The reasons is it the speed of the Athletes of today or the rule changes like the 6agains and the dubious referring decisions. Watching tonight's match cowboys v sharks there was 80 points scored in 80 minutes. Even the commentators made the point of saying he thought it was ridiculous. Personally i am beginning to think the amount of players going to be needed on the bench if things keep going the way the NEL is headed will need to grow even more than what has transpired for this season. Im not only talking about the Eels but all teams as I honestly think it will catch up to All teams . I know there will be some say your inly an ild fart and to get with the modern game. They may well be right . But the more im watching games i just think it's going overboard. All this is just my humble opinion wondering what othes think

Im an old fart "Hector Bob Down" but I agree ...not only is the game structurally fucked the rules are ruining RUGBY LEAGUE....but I get it times change and maybe the game now is the most lucrative ..........fans , ratings etc...means more MONEY ...and as they say money talks and bullshit walks.....
i think about the game in the 80s at the height of our powers ......I miss it but maybe I need to move on.......
Thanks parra Greg . I'm not the only one saying its not the game we grew up with hey
I've always disliked games where too many points are scored.Games like Basketball and AFL lose appeal in my opinion because there's too much scoring. Soccer is the biggest game in the world somewhat because when a team scores it's likely to determine the result. Too many tries in NRL lessons the impact a single try can have on a game. I'll take a 22-16 game over a 40-30 game every day of the week
Got to agree Angry Eel
