TBH I'm always a bit reluctant to keep tinkering with the rules. I'd rather see sensible application of the existing rules. For example, nobody wants to see players spear tackled but IMO a rule that gives a penalty - and therefore a break in play - just because a player is lifted above the horizontal is a blot on the game. If the player is safely returned to vertical (or something like it!) then play on for me.

Re scooting and getting caught in possession. I was born in 1960 (gets ready for the abuse and insults!) but don't remember this rule. IMO a sensible interpretation of existing rules at the POTB should be enough, i.e. Carry on with the current trend of allowing slower plays. This negates the effectiveness of 1 trick ponies (no names!) without giving the refs more rules to implement.

The Worst thing is i think some of the fans on here actually belive that

Not sure of any stats but I'd hazard a guess to say that defending wingers are the biggest culprits off this during a game, in particular after a kick on the last play. The emphasis is soley on securing possession and then a 1st tackle scoot that is rarely followed by a quick ptb mainly because the winger is more intent in dying with the ball or has poor body position in the tackle. If a scoot is followed by a quick ptb enabling an attacking team to get on a roll then it's a very effective way of turning deep defence into attack. In this instance its the slow ptb rather than the scoot thats most infuriating to me.

This is a rule introduced into kids games, to help them develop in stages and not to just pick the ball up and run.

I don't think anyone truely believes that but Pryce does have so much potential if he was fit and played with passion! Riddell was a class player at times in the NRL and people just hope MM can get them playing to their potential.

It's like Wane said if we can get everyones output up by 20% imagine how good a team we will be. I am pretty sure this can be done with the forwards!
