### 3/5 — Do you watch rugby?

*2022-05-30, version 1.3.0*

Ok i like this i think its fun but really do you watch rugby a try is literally only worth 4 points like what is the point and drop goals are only worth one also rucks are uncontested and the players just stand behind the tackled player also why does every player have just a tandom number and i keep thinking my prop is a fly half and why are all the players in just random positions just doesn’t feel like rugby

### 3/5 — Trash

*2021-10-25, version 1.2.3*

It takes forever to pass the ball every time I pass it it throws it backwards and everything is over priced it takes 3,000 cash just to get 300 training points and when I run to an opponent and when I get close to him they go the wrong way and

### 5/5 — Rugby

*2021-10-06, version 1.2.3*

Love the game it really has good stuff

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2021-09-09, version 1.2.3*

Considering there's a very limited choice for Rugby league games , this isn't bad at all.
Yes it has its flaws, but I'm sure they will be ironed out as it is developed.  My biggest gripe at the minute is scrums.... what should be a great opportunity to throw the ball about in an open field is ruined because of poor player positions.  Please sort that. 
Also this may be a bit of a long shot or a retraction from the original gameplay but a way of choosing a set play from a scrum would be good or at least swiping to select running angles???

### 2/5 — Terrible glitch
