Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3137081, member: 8988"] The repeat rule really destroys the notion of tactical sets. What's the point of offloading anywhere but near line if the majority of sets will end with a restart? And even worse, why bother throwing the ball in your own half? We have made the most boring type of football, the best tactic. Now, teams that struggle to make yards normally are marched downfield. I predict our large forwards will soon become obsolete, without a rule change soon. It all comes down to being on your back at the play-the-ball. You can do that with much smaller forwards. To me, the most exciting site to see is backline move deep in your own half that ends up a try. That's now insane to even try. If we must persist with this repeat rule we must at least bring back the 5 metres, so as to give the game some balance or reduce tackle counts. Otherwise, we will have two teams of halves facing each other with a couple of big wingers each. [/QUOTE]
