    They could try reducing how long a team can be in possession and up the power play sin bin to two players. Also make a try worth one less point in the power play.

    @Bones maybe asking to swap a player at half time would work too.

    I mean then teams could get real tactical and pick someone shit, then at halftime give him to the opposition.

    I reckon a 3 second rule. Ball must be played in the open after every 3 seconds.
    3 to complete a scrum, 3 to complete a ruck/tackle, 3 to complete a maul etc

    @Crucial but is the ball safe to eat if you drop it on the floor for more than 3 seconds?

    I'd be interested to know who else is with the Chiefs as there are plenty of options at loose forward without having to look outside the area.

    Yep, staggered by that. Who misses out from McCurran, Lasaqa, Norris, Brash, Burr and Reuben?

    There is also Thor Manase and Sam Tuifua from CM in that U20 age-group.

    seems to be the same pattern, just a different template, still cool although i prefer the original white one with the Tapa Cloth sleeves

    The competition is too short. Should be a "home and away" format with shorter finals series.

    looks like a great location, dont know what kind of numbers the raiders get but 30k seems to be the sweet spot for these kinds of venues

    Unlikely. The government isn't a huge fan of sport and wants to spend cash on the tram. This has been discussed for years and gone nowhere and the current Chief Minister thinks sinking more money into the shithole known as Bruce Stadium is a better idea. That alone speaks volumes. Everyone who has ever gone out there knows it's unsuitable. There's no supporting infrastructure and it's fucking shit: No pubs or restaurants nearby. Shitty bus service back into the city.

    You forgot to mention that it sucks in every bit of cold wind that exists in Australia.

    That proposed location would be excellent if backed by good public transport.

    Anyone know if we’re getting new jerseys for the NZ teams next season, or just Oz, Drua and Moana?

    @game_film I'm not sure about this, but don't they usually get new jerseys after 2 seasons? They had new jerseys for the 2022 season, so I'd expect them to wear the same in 2023.
