[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 972399, member: 45355"] I just think we need to give thought to how we're managing things out of players control, we seem to be going to a very black and white kind of deal, open play = good, stoppage = penalty/card, someone always need to be blamed... scrums are the ultimate example of this attitude at the moment, scrum A demolishes Scrum B, pushes them off the ball and it breaks up....scrum B didn't actually do anything wrong or illegal, they got popped because they weren't strong enough...and are then penalised for not being strong enough...we are literally penalising people for not being strong enough, some one tell me what scrum B can do to stop being demolished and penalised...suddenly get stronger? surely scrum A getting the ball, maybe a free kick is enough I just have this image of fumi tanaka running at brodie retallick...i just dont think i want a sport where brodie has to quickly think "will getting on my knees be low enough...maybe not...i cant risk it...i hope someone is sweeping behind me" i'll leave this here, little guys (tanaka) are no light weights...except literally [MEDIA=youtube]-7tnnj3whaw[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
