Message: [QUOTE="NZWarriors.com, post: 3632738, member: 13274"] What I am saying is if the NRL needs to fix an area of danger for the players, it would be good to do it in a way that keeps the traditional contest alive. Contesting bombs is an exciting part of a team's attacking arsenal. If a rule change occurs where neither the attacker or defender is allowed to jump then the integrity of that contest remains because neither the attacker or defender is at a disadvantage. We have seen the Warriors put away the act of contesting SJs bomb because it is too high risk for Webster and the team. That is a shame for the game. It is also a shame if Lomax is punished for ball watching in that situation, especially if it makes him think otherwise next time. The game would lose a lot. Either don't police it as more than accident if both players are genuinely competing (which Lomax was) or change the rules to make it safer and fair. [/QUOTE]
