[QUOTE="Dunhookin, post: 825711, member: 74570"] Agree 100% Blindside - there was a small improvement - and like you, thought we might be getting somewhere. Proved to be a false dawn and we're almost back to square one. Time to get the spotlight back on this chronic problem and get those responsible for it called to account. I did agree with Jenny's point - which I'm sure for the most part is entirely valid. Last weekend I watched my daughter's boyfriend playing in a local level 10 game - and the bent scrum feeding was nigh on as blatant as we're seeing at elite level. And as at elite level, the referee did precisely nothing! Why it's beyond the wit of WR to realise that bent feeding denies teams the opportunity to contest possession of the ball - so instead they contest for penalties which greatly increases the number of collapses. It's painfully obvious - so why isn't something done? The stupidity and incompetence of WR on this key issue is bewildering and hugely frustrating - the sooner those responsible for the debacle are exposed the better [/QUOTE]
