Thing is, we are all hoping this GRR thing will take off. If it does, who knows where it goes.
Currently in Super Rugby the ball is in play on average 35-odd mins. Us long time tragics get it. But GRR is hoping to do much better. Players will need to be leaner and improve performance and decision making under fatigue. Currently in the NRL the pill is in play 63- odd mins and they are still trying to increase that. The aim is to attract new audiences. GRR is focussed on that. Newbies won't be attracted to 35-odd minutes of ball in play.
