Quote ="BrianBradyHandOff"Over a hundred years ago a group of like minded men met in a Huddersfield hotel and broke away from Rugby Union and formed what became Rugby League, similar to Union but with a few rule changes. At first the intention was to compensate with cash for broken time payments because most of the players in the north were working class men who couldn't afford the time off work to play the game. With the rule changes the hybrid game became hugely popular and attendances soared. Unfortunately over the years the game has become deadly dull which is reflected in falling attendances. Too much thought has gone into the game and it's become over coached and formulated so much the game is now deadly dull.The hotel is still standing in Huddersfield so perhaps to save the game it's time for another meeting with wholesale rule changes to make the game the attraction it once was. The rest of the world may not follow us, it's up to them but I for one won't miss playing the antipodeans and south sea islanders. I couldn't care less, I want the game to go back to the beautiful game it once was.'"
Great comments. Let's not beat around the Bush here. The games gone rubbish. Time to re think.
