    @mariner4life said in The hot takes and unpopular opinions:

    rugby is not a great spectator sport

    Extremely difficult to introduce someone new to the game. Have tried with many over the years with Melbournians. Most ended up following the Storm...

    League is a game that's been modified to make it a better spectacle for TV. Camera follows person with the ball, no need for panning shots to show space or closeups to show people engaging in dark arts. It's a simple game to watch and understand.

    Checkers to Go in comparison.

    Although at the lower levels, I once had a girlfriend ask if the point of the game was to have scrums. I said that was merely a reflection of the skill level.

    Lineouts were better before lifters were allowed. More beanpoles who could jump, and less 120kg locks.

    You don't get all the rubbish rolling mauls that you get following lineouts now, as the mauls don't have time to form properly around the jumper as they do now, waiting them to be drop back to the ground

    Watch tests from the 1970s. They were a mess

    @canefan

    False equivalency.

    70s rugby was a mess.

    I’m not convinced, but it would be interesting to have players who were we proper leapers in teams.

    The numbnuts screenwriters who think it's cool to write the line "OK People, Let's Go!" in every bloody action movie.

    It really isn't.

    Say what? I can't even think of one action movie...

    Recreational drugs, including alcohol and tobacco, are overrated.
