Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 2438824, member: 1978"] Not to ignite the whole argument again because it's pointless but just to highlight how confusing that rule is. I have spoken to heaps of ppl since Wed all ex footy players and coaches etc 4 of them have played SoO for Qld 2 for Aus and every one of them say that was a shepherd. I change my mind probably every time I watch it but my gut says shepherd. We all say the same thing, we know the rule has changed but to us that has always been a shepherd. They have taken a simple rule and complicated it so now the ruling on such tries will depend on who is sitting in the box. What about the other 99.9% of footy games that don't have video refs or even a second ref to decipher who ran where and what was a bad read etc. Coaches will be working on plays now that run more than 1 decoy and playing the runner with depth, it has opened a can of worms. I will be very surprised if this rule doesn't get tweaked again pretty soon to change that play to a shepherd. [/QUOTE]
