I watched the 2nd half and I don't need to watch another second of it in my lifetime, wow, it was an absolute trainwreck. I was unpleasantly surprised at the skill level or moreso lack thereof.....for all the hype this league and this particular game has generated, what a letdown.
I'll never complain about having to watch the half time Little League ever again.....that standard is light years ahead of what was on display tonight.
To summarise, it was appalling and 24,000 people appear to have been duped.
If it's a success, then good luck to them, but it's not for me and was every bit as disappointing as I expected it to be.
It's the first year of the competition. We know they can't kick as far, 30m would be a tough shot at goal, and breaking tackles will be harder, and being so early skills would be down given the competition has shallow depth, but you can bet in 2-3 years time those skills will be infinitely better. If you were unrealistically expecting something like the highly professional, slick men's game you were going to be disappointed. If you went in realising there's be differences then you'd likely enjoy the game, especially the high intensity.
