Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2816081, member: 8215"] Because crackdown or not, it is still a rule. One where infringements should result in penalties. They're not even trying to hide it any more - literally lift one foot off the ground and roll the ball backwards. It's why the Roosters' forwards looked so good up until the end of 2015, why they were dog shit last year (crackdown), and why they "looked like the were running incredibly hard" tonight. With a tunnel-ball, it not only means the pass from DH is easier to time (so the forward taking the hit-up can be at full-steam and receive the pass flat), but it also means that the player playing it doesn't have to stand up fully, meaning it happens before the markers are even able to get up and in to position, taking them out of play.I mean, yeah, great tactic, but it's cheating. Being 10 metres off-side for every kick would be a great benefit, same as if you could shepherd your player through the line via obstructions. But it's too easy, so you can't, that's why the rules are there. Why enforce some, and not others? [/QUOTE]
