1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Jumps with Jonesy and Amanda. Let's get on down to

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: the Jonesy Demander arms right now. The pub tests is funny.

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: We need Jim Doland because he knows a fair bit

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: about sport.

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: Jim, would you like a drink?

6
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well you're having Jonesy Please skin arrests for Jim.

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: How do you have one as well?

8
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: I'll have a lemon tea please?

9
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: Three skinners arrest.

10
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: Well, we're talking about the scrum because there are proposed

11
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: changes to it, Jim.

12
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: In rugby league, yes, well, this weekend there's the top

13
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: eights decided, so there's two games that will have no

14
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: bearing on the finals at all. So the NRL's decided

15
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: this is the perfect time to trial some new rules,

16
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: one of which will include keeping the ball in play longer,

17
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 1: so if you kick for touch, instead of there being

18
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: a scrum, it'll be just a handover. If you tackle

19
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: someone into touch, it'll also be a handover. And the

20
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: forwards will have to pack in the scrum, not backs.

21
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: You can't stack them when you get closer to the line.

22
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are suggesting this is the

23
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: end of the scrum. They think it's the end of

24
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: an era. It hasn't been effective for a long time. Basically,

25
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: the guys stand there that an't pack correctly. People get

26
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: upset with that. They can put the ball anywhere they like.

27
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: It's uncontested. It makes no sense.

28
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to push. Yeah, and you see rugby people

29
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: look down their noses and go well, at least ours

30
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: as a contest, and in rugby they do. They practice hard.

31
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: The scrum is a big part of the game in

32
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: rugby league. It's the chance one to have a thirty

33
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: second spell and two it's supposed to take six forwards

34
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: out of the game so the backs can work their magic.

35
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: But at the moment it doesn't really seem to do

36
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: that either. By large, it seems to be a formality

37
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: these days. Yeah, and some people say, why don't you

38
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: just get them to stand there and hold hands for

39
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: a couple of seconds in a circle, And you know

40
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: that'd be just as a fair to be soccer. What

41
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: about the chicken scratch? Remember that at school? Yeah, when

42
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: you didn't have enough players, you put the ball down

43
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: the middle hands behind the back of the referegeo one, two, three,

44
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: goat and you'd scrape the ball back and your team

45
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: and have a possession. I like the formality. What do

46
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: you think does it pass the pub test to scribe?

47
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: I've always thought it was useless. If you you just

48
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: may you're just giving it to your own team members.

49
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: So what's the point?

50
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and sometimes you're allowed to push, sometimes you're not.

51
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: So will they come out and sell us? Is the

52
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: scrum relevant?

53
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: So what do you think in general is the scrum?

54
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: Does it pass the pub test?

55
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: The whole idea of a scrum was based between hims

56
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: pushing each other to so you could get the ball

57
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: and now putting the ball in the second row. Now

58
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: to me, he's completely pointless and having the scrum.

59
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: No, mate, they don't get rid of the scrums. In

60
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: their ways, they bring back the struggles of yester year.

61
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: You know. They put it in the sound of the

62
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: second road. You might just keep the ball they get

63
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: to them. I don't know why they bother. They're a

64
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: bit of a shambles and they probably need to work

65
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: out some other way of making them relevant or take

66
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: another rule.

67
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: I reckon Another rule rule I'd like to see is

68
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: keep a hand and a leg on the field at

69
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: all times. What do you think hand keep your hand

70
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: and your foot on the field all the time, all times,

71
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: so fascinating.

72
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: It's like a mad Monday celebration.

73
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: It's just a suggestion. Brendan with joins and Amanda
