Are there opportunities for golden points or tries, shot clocks being introduced, adapting law that is currently sitting is being refereed and blown to,” Marinos explained."It's not one particular thing, it's just rather having a focus and saying, 'How can we present the game and make it a better spectacle than it what it currently is?'“…We’re looking at things that are not fundamental changing of the law, really just adapting how we can improve the shape of the game.“(We want to) pick up the intensity and the pace and bring that fatigue into the game that creates the space and opportunity for tries and people to exhibit their talent and flare.“It’s looking at those things that are not fundamental changes to the law, just adapting how we can improve the shape of the game.”
