[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 435674, member: 43400"] [COLOR=#222222] Hang on, weren't you advocating that the changes were needed to increase number WORLD WIDE a few posts ago (your post on page 36) ... now it turns out that you are actually talking about the threat that league poses to the New Zealand, or more specifically the Auckland rugby market. ... You seem to have edited out quite a bit of what he is saying here - the cherry picking remark, was proceeded by him pointing out that Rugby League is an issue local to Australia and New Zealand, and so you are looking to make global changes to the rules, to fix a local problem, and so you aren't looking at it as a world wide problem at all. ... The stuff about the NFL is relevant as well, as he clearly states that NFL is the most widely viewed contact sport in the world, and that, it's a stop - start sort of a game, which proves that a game doesn't have to be fast and not have interruptions for it to be entertaining I really can't see that the lowering of the value of penalty goals and drop goals, is going to solve any problem of league taking away patrons from Union in New Zealand or Australia anyway ... most New Zealand and Australian teams like to run the ball, and have a focus on scoring tries anyway[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
