Coaches are largely to blame for changing the nature of the game by contracting the ground so that we routinely see 36 players in one half and none in the other.
This is possible because we have a sport that has no offside rule.
Some of these annoying rule changes are as a direct result of that.
In Rugby League the opposite is the case, they’ve changed the nature of the game by deliberately changing the rules, the fact that there’s an off side rule has limited the extent coaches can influence how it looks.
Wouldn't an offside rule have more compression?
