[QUOTE="Broms, post: 1012833, member: 84425"] It's a more convincing argument that a diff. penalty after 25 seconds is better to move the game on than 2 or 3 minutes of scrum setting and then resetting which regularly ends in a penalty anyway. Slow play is a habit allowed by the rules until it is addressed by penalties of some form such as it has in many other games - tennis, NFL, RL, basketball, for example. For those who love watching the power and technique of a scrum it would still be there to enjoy. Your Aussie mate isn't alone in playing Fireball. I once actually heard a group of them comparing notes about the best composition of a fireball. The recipe seems to have been passed down through the generations right across the country. [/QUOTE]
