It’s all part of the sport evolving into a product for the future. I feel there’s been a great deal of overreaction on social media especially from players of the game (I am one!)
We couldn’t carry on as we were, it would have caught us out eventually and the repercussions for the whole sport may well have been costly.
It will take a while to suss out what rugby league looks like and to ensure it remains an attractive and entertaining product but that’s the same with most things that embrace change. Someone earlier on in the thread compared RL in 2023 to RL in the 1983 - massive difference. We’ll say the same about 2043.
I’m interested to see how it goes and believe that skill sets will evolve around these rules.
