sigesige00 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 There is no major 7s tounament, and no possibility of the future development of 7s. 13s and 9s are enough for RL. There should be 9s World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 While I think that 'abolish' is harsh, certainly we should be putting our focus on 9's as the short format contact version of the game as it has some momentum and the best strategies are usually the easiest to understand and execute. 13 a side for those playing serious full contact. 9's for a full contact short form version. Tag for those looking for fun, social and keeping fit without contact. Junior leagues for kids and Seniors for the likes of me. PDRL. Wheelchair. All of the above across the men's and women's game with an international focus and desire to build as one sport would do me nicely.

Henson Park Old Firm Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 It's time to get Peter V'Landys to convince the IOC that rugby league should be played at the Winter Olympics.

17 stone giant Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Given that rugby union is associated with 7's, I do think it's a sensible idea for rugby league to concentrate on 9's. Is there a reason why 7's or 9's was chosen? Would 8's not work for some reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hela Wigmen Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Rugby League needs to work out what it’s doing with Nines. Australia has it in the shape of the Auckland/Perth 9s and there was a World Cup in Sydney last year but it seems to have gone cold since. Is the RLIF going to put a focus on that now? Is there a follow up to the World Cup? Is there going to be a qualification process for it? Are we going to encourage club sides to play it? Are we going to encourage the amateur and community sides to play it more? I like the idea of Tag Rugby, too, which seems to be linked to Rugby League as it’s always showcased at Magic. That’s the social game we should push as it’s for all genders and abilities and isn’t as physical as the full game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t want to play full RL any more I wouldn’t last six tackles but I’d love to have a game of tag with a load of other blokes in their 40s.

Try tag rugby is connected to RL with leagues and cups , you have 9s full contact RL where there is only one competition in London at challenge cup weekend. You also have standard touch "which follows the rules of RL" you also have the newest creation of Xleague too where the tackle happens by touching the ball. All of these are shorter versions of RL If I was a new player I wouldn't know which to get involved in I probably wouldn't play 9s as only can play once a year. Tag although plenty of options isn't the cheapest as you have to pay for player entry in a team and buy the right shorts too. Xleague for me might be the way forward to replace touch possibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
