Would like the NRL and IRL to encourage/force media organisations around the world to use five-eighth and halves and to spell fullback and halfback like this not full-back/half-back. Would like the 9 to be called rake.

Middle-forward, edge-forward and loose-forward for mine too. Get rid of the scrum.

Rename Centers

They should be called "Guards" maybe Flankers.
They are NOT in the center.

Five-Eight should be renamed to a better complex fraction i.e. ThirtySeven-fiftysix. Because it makes no sense that he is just off "halfback". Or you could call him Center and get 1x Center in the actual Center.

It's like saying your doors are in the center of the car.

Rake is a better name then hooker, still slightly problematic but less so.
 
There has been no such thing as a half-back or five-eight since inside and outside centre was no longer a thing, and they played left or right sides in defence. Simply halves and centres.
