The problem they are trying to resolve is the late finishing times of televised matches.
Rather than change the start time, how about starting the game ON TIME, having the prescribed 15 minute half time not extended by adverts and waffle then get rid of the video ref and we will all be home before breakfast.
Our sport has become Sky TV fodder.
No thought given to the actual sport, the fans, the players or anyone.
All they want is something that they can get on the cheap (RL has sold itself very cheaply in comparison to other sports) and they want maximum tv coverage, to fill their screens and sell advertising.
I'm surprised that we haven't moved to playing 4 x 20 quarters, so that they can sell even more advertising, perhaps that will come in the near future.

Which they will dress up as for player welfare and not for money reasons.
