Message: [QUOTE="Ghibli, post: 2194275, member: 1856"] Nah I found it quite funny about the number thing. If the bloke referees me in any other way than any other player, yep I'll get you to raise it with Troy. Stu or Ryan can give the more in-depth explanation of what happened, basically Paul collided with a support player. And stated that a penalty MUST immediately be awarded (and to us due to him being that cause of the collision). That means that I could, in the event that someone gets by me, run into one of their support players, and we get a penalty - hell I've saved a certain try, and it's only a penalty. Surely he must understand the Advantage rule, and how to referee and apply the laws of the game depending on context and discretion. The rule book appears to me, as giving ref's some room to apply the intent of rules, especially with words like 'may' contained within. I know this area - I write Governance and Management Frameworks for a large Government organisation, I effectively write rules/policies as my job. For sure, some rules will have prescriptive elements such as MUST, ONLY etc. but Pauly boy this isn't one of them! [/QUOTE]
