Prem play-offs: DOR special

But it's, I do think we've got a good product, a good product for, for viewers, for fans, for everyone involved in it.

Yeah, how does that, the product, do you think, sit now compared to when you started, Rob?

No, I think, I think we've kind of worked it, worked it round back to being very good.

I like the focus we've moved to slowly over the last couple of seasons, where a head contact is not necessarily a big panic and everyone has to start having red cards thrown around and yellow cards.

And we're starting to look at things genuinely from a perspective of let's look at things like rugby incidents, and we're just starting to see instead of these just weirdly broken up games, I think we're just getting a bit more flow back into the game around bit better decision-making, around allowing that bit of, I don't know, like I say, a little bit of, not leniency, but a bit of kind of rug- I think rugby people watch a lot of the things that used to be red cards as a personal thingI knew they weren't red cards, they knew they weren't deliberate actions, and we've got to try and change that.

I think we've done that really well.

And so I, what I really like is that softening off of that approach.

But what I'm really hopeful for now, and I, I, I kind of champion this, is we don't look for another set of rule, law changes.

I think the game is, is, is the, is the funniest game in, of all sports.

They're...

Si- every six months somebody wants to change something, and it's always down to changing the laws.

It's never about changing the interpretation of something, or allowing the game to settle down, or, or, or slowly, I don't know, taking the focus away from something.

It's always like, let's change this, let's change this, let's change this.

And it, it's, and it's an odd thing to do because you only have to let the law settle for a little while and you produce a great product.

It was like that before, where chop and change, chop and change around kicking laws and bits and pieces, and it ruined the game for a little period, then it all softened off again.

They left it for three years and we created a great game.

Because we'll all find a way to try and score tries, and we're all trying to find ways to stop things.

But nine times out of ten, I think you start to see attack across the season starts to come out on top.

That's what's happened again.

So if someone said to me, "Now, what does the game need?" It needs nothing, really.

It needs a bit of an auditorium on.

Right.

Let's not change too much.

So the lawmakers just-
