IN my younger years I was a very keen sportsman participating in various sporting activities within the Newcastle area. However, in the past couple of years I have lost a great deal of interest in both codes of rugby given the rule changes they say make the game faster and more enjoyable for supporters.
I often watch the telecast when the Knights play, but like most, I lose interest by half-time. On Saturday, given the weather and the election coverage on most channels, I sat down to watch St George take on the Warriors until midway through the first half when the bunker was called upon to rule on a lost ball by the Warriors.
