You can have a look.
When attack is, the Brumbies were their best.
They could hold the ball for 30, 40, 50 phases.
I'm using a ridiculous number.
Get your hands on it.
And Crusaders and those teams complained about how do we ever get it back?
And they created the jackal and they created a gate through the ruck and all that sort of stuff.
And then they allowed those teams to get turnovers.
And I think what I'm saying by that is the game will always go in ways of where there's an attack and then there's a defence and there's an element.
I think at this point in time, it's the only ball sport in the world where you can win without the ball.
And that balance has to be found.
And I think it comes at an expense because if you have a 12-3 thriller,
It's not going to sell the crowds with 70,000 people.
That's the dilemma that people that are running the game are in now.
They want a 45-39 thriller with the last player of the game controlling the outcome.
But I do think that the game will go, just the nature of the game, Bernard, it'll go into an attacking phase again.
The coaches are now working on how to attack even better and keep the ball where the ones that will be in the next curve will be ahead of the game.
Well, Bernard, I know you can go, but one thing that people ask me, so what would change the game significantly?
And I think that if you could catch a kick, any kick out of the air, you could have a scrum from where the kick was kicked from.
Because all that's happened now is people carry the ball outside the 22 and then they kick a contestable onto the kicker, I mean, onto the receiver.
