ETA: they also have what amount to downs in football in league. I think it's 5-6 runs and then possession turns over, so they usually kick to the other team on the last down. It's just a very different game because of the lack of battling for possession.
I see. That actually sounds super lame.

I cant understand why a team with the awesomesauce name of Rabbitohs would have any part of that.
