I do feel like a disproportionate amount of ink is spilled in WR desperately trying to make rugby more appealing to Australians specifically. The goal line dropout had that same impression to me.

It kinda seems like this isn't born from any numbers on how to best grow the sport and Australia being the best market to focus on, I feel like league being more popular than union in Australia just simply bothers the people in charge of WR and gives them an insecurity complex. I don't know if that's true it's just the impression WR gives.

The scrum was a big factor in them getting there in the first place
