Stay as they are
I just think it really modernises the game and highlights further more obvious differences to rah-rah.
It makes the game faster and more athletic.
The games have been pretty good of late and scorelines have generally been close.
I don't think we could create rules to make the scrum competitive again without resulting in never-ending penalties like in the 80s - unless someone can suggest some?
It's had its day, no need to try and resurrect it.
The latest shot-clock idea last season made it into even more of a farce, a group of 6 players (mainly backs) mingling and barely touching each other for a second or too, then on with the game and a prop at first receiver. It just looked poor and amateurish. An open goal for negative comparisons from the other code.
If we got rid of the scrum we could also rename all the scrum-based positional descriptors, to have more meaning in the context of the modern game. The coaches already use things like middles, and pivot and left/right halves.
6-again rule? not too fussed, keep it or don't. It reduces penalties but increases judgement calls by the refs which could influence the game.
The new rules take away the recent trend of 10 minute impact forwards coming on fresh just before half time which to
me increased the injury risk to tired players.
