NRL: Power play. Worth keeping?

We saw the introduction of two rules in last night's NRL All Stars match. The power play and the ruck rule. The Power play was were one team was allowed to banish two players from the opponents team for a period of five minutes.

What did you think of the power play? Is this something you'd like to see introduced in the regular NRL season?

    Not really, it did help the attacking team 13 against 11 but that would be expected. It does take away the man on man approach that is rugby league.

    One change I would have liked to seen tried is the rugby dead ball rule. In league this would be when a ball is kicked over the dead ball or touch in goal line, play comes back for a restart to the non kicking team from where the ball was kicked.

    Wasnt really a fan of it, especially not having 1 power play per half. Having 1 per game would be better, but even then im still not a fan of it and dont really see the point of it, nobody has asked for this.
