Another thing I noticed with the 6-6-6 was that the full forwards and full backs stayed in the goal squares for a long time. I don't think that's a requirement under the new rules (?) but it did make for a more traditional-looking set up for short periods on quite a few occasions. All the forwards made their way into the centre area once the ball was up the other end however.
I hope you don’t mind the intrusion, just curious how the new rules worked.
So from what I can gather the half forward line are pushed up towards the 50 meter line but the full forward line are staying deep? Did this create a fair bit of space for this line to lead into?
Were the players grouped together or was there generally space between the groups of two, ie the forward and their direct opponent?
In general play did the teams drop a player back to make it a 7-6 as per the old days?
And one last one, the kick quick out, did the kick generally get to further up the ground?
