[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 593786, member: 67273"] [b]Lineout throws not being policed?[/b] I have noticed that this year (and this season in particular) that officials have been getting more and more relaxed about how straight throw ins must be. A lot of hookers are setting up in the middle of the channel and then stepping to the side - to be in line with their own team. Then they throw towards the middle of the channel so that it looks like it's possible of the defending team to compete, when it isn't. Sorry for the terrible explanation, but I'm sure most of you have seen exactly what I'm talking about. My issue is that it seems as if it is being "allowed" in the same way that crooked feeds in the scrum were (/are). I can't see how the touch judge can miss it as it is extremely obvious - some players are literally in line with their own team! Tom Youngs is the person I have seen do it the most. [/QUOTE]
