Vlandys and co have to recognize, as I was getting at with saying I appreciated both the blow-outs and the grinds in the mix but not one clearly dominating in terms of regularity, that a balance has to be struck [I]somewhere. [/I]The 6 again, for me the worst thing about that is teams who deliberately concede on Tackle 1 so they have to endure a 7 tackle set having gotten their shit together in the next 6 tackles. I've never been a wild fan of the 7 Tackle 20 Metre rule when a ball from an attacking kick goes dead, especially when it [I]just [/I]goes over the dead ball line. That's bad luck. Not intentional "Don't let their fullback get the ball and run, boot it bloody hard and kick it dead" thinking. I realise it would be bloody hard to adjudicate, which might make this rule more trouble than it's worth, but I think that rule should only apply when a kick is put in within the opposition's 20m line. Or maybe you simply say "Conceding 20 metres on the defending team's set is bad enough" and dump the 7 tackle rule. And I do think some fans - Bulldogs being the prime example this week, might be Warriors next Sunday - are using the "Bloody Vlandys' stupid bloody rules are [I]screwing my team!" [/I]excuse a [I]bit [/I]too freely. The rules might not be [I]helping [/I]your team, but some of what happened last night against the Sea Eagles just wasn't acceptable, [I]whatever [/I]the rules are.
