I enjoy a bit of rugby league but it’s just not the same.
It’s absolutely correct to call it monotonous in general, most rugby league games follow a similar pattern. The last tackle theatrics where they hoof and grubber the ball in the hope that the opposition make a mistake was introduced because the sport got so boring but it is pure basterdisation of a sport. They removed almost every element of contest. Wrestling in rugby league was a bigger problem than collapsed scrums in real rugby in my opinion. I read somewhere that rugby rucks are now generally cleared quicker than a rugby league ruck, despite the contest for the ball in rugby.
It’s a fun sport to play for some training. Strong emphasis on ball skills and big front up tacking. Some great skills and athletes involved.
Your final sentence is obviously a WUM
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. 
Which of ye is Multeen and which is Peddlerscross?
The team without the ball has to allow the attacking team retain possession for a max of 7 phases. That’s the point. It’s boring, predictable.
