NRL Chairman Peter V'Landys has doubled down on the reported kick-off rule change. He is saying once they have spoken to all teams they will make a decision. CEO Andrew Abdo said what fans don't understand is they are trying to make the game better. What he and V'Landys doesn't understand is this rule has not passed the pub test. There are some out there who like it, fair enough but the majority hate the idea, including a host of former NRL players. 

They seem so arrogant that this rule seems like it is more of a "Look at us" gimick as opposed to what is good for the game. Abdo reported a jump of 87 million more viewers in the last 6 years, isn't that enough? Bunch of idiots, they will run the game into the ground more with greed of trying to get flavour of the month ideas to try and be too clever. The fact that many have said to them this is a bad idea then to reply they don't realise what we are doing just shows you are just doing your due diligence talking to them but seemed to have made up your mind. V'Landys says leadership means you make tough decisions. The HIA rule of 11 days stand down was a tough decision but it was needed for player safety. How is this a tough decision for the good of the game? 

Going with the approach of; we have an idea what do you think? And feedback is we don't like it to then come back and say "You just don't get it". It is out of touch and it is an issue for the game moving forward. Abdo for one is a problem with this game moving forward, always disliked him.

This game is better than it has ever been. Last years finals were some of the best in recent memory and the comp was close. Why is there a sudden urge to change and make it better when it is already good? If those you are presenting it too address concerns you listen as many speak for the fans.
