[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1092068, member: 55747"] Rough around the edges but to be honest, i'd give you WR's presidency in a heartbeat. For those disregarding #1 (del know downs) because it is cynical, well, it is cynical only because 'we' decided in the rules for it to be so, and can change it with a couple of signatures. When arguing about rule changes saying that something is 'against the rules' is nonsensical. That's the entire bloody point. I have doubts regarding #3 as i am not sure whether such a remedy would be better or worse than the disease. I'd be willing to try it out tho. This is a bit of a recurring thing with me: i can pin point something i dont like about the game but i am not always sure what change i would introduce to correct it. Regarding the 50;22 thingie, i have mixed feelings. I like the idea (and the stats!) but i see too much weight on fixed formations already and this favours that even more. I'd like scrums and line outs to be to be a way to restart the game, maybe give the team throwing in the ball a slight advantage. But as the game stands today that advantage is massive. You have two teams A & B. A has the better scrum. A drops the ball, B throws in, A gets a penalty, for 30 minutes. No matter who gets to drop the ball, where or why, A gets a penalty and after a while, YCs start flowing till you go uncontested. I understand the rationale and all, i get it, but i still dont like it. If you are about to say 'well then B needs to work on getting a better scrum' please don't. That's my entire point. I'd like the rules to reduce the amount of advantage a team with a better scrum has. You could do a not-so-different argumentation with line outs. [/QUOTE]
