Message: [QUOTE="Brotherdu, post: 3424281, member: 9226"] Some others I hate - [LIST] [*]Seven tackle set off an attacking kick in the 20. A kick on tackle 5 going for a try that misses by mm in some cases, doesn't deserve a 7 tackle set. It can really ruin a game. How about change it to any kicks from outside the 40m (or even 20m) that go out over the dead ball line result in a seven tackle set. It was introduced to stop people kicking it dead from a mile off to save time wasting and resetting the defensive line. This would have the same outcome. [*]Knock-on by a tackling player. If no move was made to attack the ball, then play on. [*]1 on 1 knock on between 2 opposing players. If they knock on into each other whilst competing for the ball, then play on whoever retains possession. this would save a lot of time each game and speed it up even more. [*]Stripping the ball. I don't care if it is 4 on 1, it's fair game, hold the ball. Again, this would be a massive reduction to the amount of time wasted and keeps the ref out of the game. [*]6 again for imaginary 'ruck infringement' is the worst rule ever and again gives refs a leeway over a game, even if it is subconscious. How about we have a timer that starts as soon as a ref calls held....then he has a ping in his ear after XX seconds, either the ball has been played, or the players are laying all over him. Take out the guess work. Who cares is hands are on the ball whilst the tackle is being made. Offside, square at marker, play the ball straight etc all seem like fairly easy things to manage, get rid of the grey areas......so and so was .5 sec slow getting off the player. [*]Same with Flops, if the tackle is held and you flopped, well guess what, you just made it harder for your 2 team mates under you to get off in time......unless you flopped after held was called, then fair enough. [/LIST] I think the refs for the most part do a good job. I reckon getting rid of a bunch of these rules that require them to either make an on the spot 50-50 call, or pause the game to go to the bunker would massively improve the game. TLDR; Simplify the game and get rid of all the grey area, open to interpretation, 50/50 rules where the ref has to make a judgement. [/QUOTE]
