[QUOTE="Zapphod, post: 868473, member: 57286"] For Peyper the game was always going to be a hospital pass though, anything controversial and he was going to cop it, either he was proving the "he will be biased to a home team" or "he was bias to the opposition to prove he was unbiased" arguments were going to rise, personally I think he handled it well and in the end fanatics will always find a reason to be unhappy. I find the whole idea that Smith was reckless to be rather bizarre as he was going for the ball (as he should be) and when he saw what was happening he clearly tried to avoid contact (as he is supposed to do) to the point that he lost his footing, surely the reckless player in the whole incident was Havili, he was the one who put himself in danger. Isnt the point to a box kick to put the ball into a position where your team can recover the ball? How would things like chip kicks or grubber kicks that bounce up be handled How about rather than banning jumping for the ball they simply switch the onus of safety to the individuals themselves and card anyone that makes contact while in the air.
