Message: [QUOTE="M.B.88, post: 3127824, member: 8473"] There's so much I dislike about this rule... One of these things is how it gives the referee no accountability as there is a lack of replays to highlight any mistake in reading the ruck. I'd buy this rule fair and square if there were still two referees... One looking over the ruck and ensuring no MILKING happens. But instead, you're relying on a guy standing 10m away from what's going on to make the right call?? All the while getting guys on side? Naaaa The other is it now advantages the teams who like to hug and wrestle slowly to the ground like Melb and East's. It has actually ENCANCED the wrestle, not abolish it. So there's now a disadvantage to the teams that like to play fast paced footy like us and cowboys. Those matches are guaranteed to become blow outs now. We've seen the end of golden point Broncos v Cowboy clashes under this new rule GUARANTEED. Ways we can get out of this hole we're in: We need to capitalise on the stripping rule. We should be practicing this for hours one day a week every week at training. If we can't win the ruck cause our guys are too soft and young, then we need to find a way to turn the momentum after being on the back foot. We need to master the stripping tactic like Canberra have done. The other thing is fix our 5th tackle kicks. Both games they continuously kicked to the same point on the field all night. Boring!!!! Predictable!!! Stop that! Stop it! Fix that up now. [/QUOTE]
