I feel like these big dudes get too much of a chance to just plow into the other team. Give it to the fast dudes and them have a go.

It's how it works Forwards have to lay the platform.
What's with the subs? This dude is checking in with a card. How many do you get, and can a guy come back in the game?

Usually the first couple of plays go to forwards or "the big guys" then the faster guys and playmakers, #6 #7 get it and spread it wide trying to link up with the fast guys on the outside. Late in each half you'll see fast guys head into the middle as the big guys tire.
What's up with the dude with the soft helmet? Is he a p***y because he wears that? Why don't more people wear them?

There's 4 guys on the bench and you can interchange up to 10 times total. Anyone can come on or off as many times as you want as long as the total is only 10.

Seems like some of the Forwards have grey hair. How old are these dudes?

30-35 they are veterans..
Why did they give those guys 6 more tackles when he kicked it to himself?
This guy with the shaggy hair for the cowboys, he looks like he's always the one to pick up the kick/roll after a tackle. What's that position called? He seems like he's the set up guy.

Hooker or, rarely, rake. Normally he will be the one to do that unless he's too far away. That guy is #9. In rugby league, your number is based on the position you play.

If a defender makes a play at the ball that is kicked or passed then drop it or fail to secure the ball and the attacking side regain possession the attacking side then get another set of 6

I'm disappointed with the dudes and their lack of elusiveness. They should be trying to run around the defense instead of just plowing into them. Get going sideways more before they cut up field.
I feel like way too often it takes too many guys to bring down the runner. They need to work on their tackling.
