They did with Warren Ryan's strictness in defence in the 80's, Wayne Bennet's slowing the play the ball down in the 90's and Craig Bellamy's importance on wrestling and robotic style of play in the 00's.

Slappa.

How could you forget Lord Ted Goodwins flicking the ball over players heads retrieving and bolting off-they changed the rules because of him.
Or Fairy hiding the ball behind his back and no one knew where it was -Easts scored from it .

We had a variant in our schoolboy rugby - the 'quarterback' would hold the ball up pretending to pass to the wiger and some big prop would run from behind him and grab the ball and charge into the oppostion forward pack.

The "Statue of Liberty" play. Would love to see that in league.

There are no moves because there are hardly any footballers playing the game anymore.
All just big athletes. Ray Price would probably not get a contract now days

The most innovative thing I've seen in a long while is the Pat Richards kick off. Bit of pressure straight away from a very high spiralling kick rather than the same old deep kick off.
Have also seen a few times lately players trying a low hard kick into spaces trying to get the ball into touch from a drop out ...again something different to catch the attacking team unawares.

As a variation to the kick off, I've been saying for a long while at the kick off with all the players spread around the touchlines, in goal, and ten metre line, there is a huge open space between the ten metre line and goal line ...why not a shallow kick off landing around the 30 mtre spot with 3 or 4 chasers sprinting from the halfway soon as the ball is kicked off ....think theres a great chance of getting the ball back or at least pressuring the receiving team into a fumble ?

Yes Horry. I remember Greg Brentnall doing it several times, perhaps with Graham Eadie and Ted Goodwin. Sometimes our man Marty Gurr would enter one. It's been a long time out of the game.

Sad how possession of the ball has become everything. Love to see someone display this one day.

Just saw the hodges tunnel ball pass from dummy half to his winger for a try.

Very nice slick move.

The Hayne leap to put off Slater was a beauty!

Saw the 80 GF replay on fox some time back...The game started with Marty Gurr and Greg Bretnall in a kicking duel. Unfortunately Marty got owned by the ex Aussie Rules junior.

The last time I saw a kicking duel was in the 90s during Origin.

Saw a great kicking duel between Marty Gurr and Ross Conlon one year, it was great to watch, Marty was a superb kicker of the long ball. Unfortunately most of the team got owned in that 1980 Grand Final

We didn't get owned in the 1980 GF, we got rorted..

The pass to Anderson for his try was a yard forward, & the reffing was disgraceful all game..
