The Game - Hung Drawn and Quartered?

[Graham]

The ARL Commission has started looking into the possibility of splitting game into quarters to increase broadcast revenue in the next TV deal.

The move is reportedly led by new chairman Peter V’landys. He will chair a meeting on Thursday that will discuss various proposed rule changes.

Some of the topics include golden point alternatives, captains challenges, the 20-40 rule and limiting on-field support.

 

Here's more details:

My view:

This is a daft idea.  It would just break up the flow/momentum of the game. The dynamics might shift too with breaks letting all but especially the big men get another breather.

He'll be suggesting pads and helmets next!

Not forgetting time-outs and two minute warnings!

Terrible. Rugby League is a game of two halves.

Split into quarters, it still could be

Pleased to see quarters were left on the scrap heap of rule changes
