Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2449487, member: 1764"] What Browny said. It's up to the referee's discretion, so they obviously decided given the context of the match that Cronulla were wasting time/taking too long. I don't think anyone likes that rule, same with the stupid 'stick ya head up the bum and stay there to stop the clock'. I think a much fairer way to deal with this would be to have time off whenever: a) a try is scored or penalty goal elected to be kicked (ie as soon as referee points to the posts, time off), or field goal kicked until the ball is kicked off again b) a scrum is ruled (ball goes out, error) c) a line drop out is awarded I wouldn't for a 20m restart or a penalty/tap because they're fairly quick processes anyway. But the time between a try being awarded and the conversion being taken can take an age. Referees can still hurry the teams up if they're going slow to get a breather, but in any case no playing time is lost. And hey, it'll make the game take longer and provide more advertising opportunities so there's $$$ value in it :P [/QUOTE]
