Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3298098, member: 8423"] I don't think anyone is against progress, it is the way it is done that is the issue. Not all of the rule changes are bad in theory but when you have incompetent (or fatigued) officials, it is going to end up resulting in different interpretations of the rules each week / each game. This then gets doubled down on by some over the top judiciary charges to try and protect on field errors by officials but not of course for some repeat offenders like JWH who always get off due to the jersey they wear. If you are going to introduce rule changes, do some due diligence and introduce the rules with significant notice and not on the whim of a dude in charge who thinks he can do no wrong. Also, if you do make rule changes, ignore the talking heads in the media who whinge and complain, for example the penalty crackdown which would have been far better for the game in the long run than the six again has been. No one is against the head high crackdown, no one at all but this is how it should have always been. The idea is to stamp out thug acts / illegal tackles, not penalise guys for hitting someone high who is practically on their knees and the defender has nowhere to go or time to react. Again, forethought and better planning could negate so many problems. And everyone wants to see legal big hits but these days, often when they occur the attacking player stays down and the ref calls a penalty for being 'a bit too forceful' (the exact words from a ref). Everyone wants to see free-flowing football but not artificially contrived rubbish due to one-sided officiating. [/QUOTE]
