It will be, maybe not NRL but rugby league. My concern is that it is getting to americanised. Things like red zone, OFFence, DEFence, golden point. For all their problems scrums were an important part of the game. Prior to the changes teams had an opportunity to win the ball against the feed. Competition for the ball has gone. No competitive scrums, no striking in the play the ball, no stripping the ball, unless one on one (what happened to ball security). Soccer has had few changes in the rules and it is the top team sport in the world. Rugby hasn't had a great many6 changes and is the second top team sport in the world. This has to say something to the rugby league administration.
I hope not.
With the rise of A League, I think NRL will became like Australia soccer (like 10 years ago). My main problem with NRL, is the people in charges, administrators or whatever. NRL has major issues in its playing rules, the refs, the video ref which neither of them have been dealt with accordingly. I agree with Bill, it sort of becoming like NFL.
