[QUOTE="TRF C A Iversen, post: 770906, member: 12312"] I've felt that way myself. The whole 7 players for 7 minutes thing seems like a gimmick that must've come in back in the days of the original Hong Kong 7's or a few years before. Whenever it was, it wasn't a great idea. Maybe it was because they couldn't find enough players to play in shorter versions of the game back then, but in any case, it's one of the things I feel that Rugby League has got right. Dropping 15 players down to 7 in a game originally requiring multiple guys to commit to rucks and a far more tactical, on-going possession approach? Dropping 13 players down to 9 in a game originally requiring one guy to get as far up field as he can before he's tackled and the ball is recycled for only 6 tackles. At least League evolved and dropped the number of tackles down to 4. Short form Rugby would've been much better off with that kind of 9 men, 9 minutes thing. [/QUOTE]
