I see now. That’s true. My mistake and apologies.

That didn’t go quite as well as I thought it would.

I got the “drop an e” comment if that’s what you meant.

Maybe we should all drop (or stop dropping) Es.

Besides it’s only Monday, so you have all week to get up to speed.*

* I didn’t mean to do that, but it came out ok…

Hocking and Gil want the same thing as any other middle-to-upper management goon in any company wants. They want to leave their own stamp/brand/legacy. No one remembers the bloke who came in, kept the wheel turning for a few years, then gave the keys to the next bloke.

Strip back all the supposed justifications, and it’s change for change’s sake.

Cheap pies, though.

The quick and easy win to build the aforementioned stamp/brand/legacy.

That’s not cynicism, it is exactly what all this BS is all about.

Hearing that the hands in the back rule is about to be abolished in the marking contest

Say what?

Surely not

That’s what I thought too. Unless my mail is wrong it was apparently discussed at a rules committee meeting today and the rule could get a massive overhaul

As long as the James Clement push is penalised.

If an 18 metre goal lane is so great for defenders, won’t there just be more rushed behinds?

McNeice would still find a way to rush it

Going back to how it was originally I assume

You can put hands in back to hold ground.

Just can’t push in back.

Umpire interpretation then comes into it again though about whether player accentuates the contact

I wouldn’t mind them getting rid of the “chopping the arms” rubbish. Once upon a time, one of the things that separated the best marking forwards from the rest was the strength to hang onto the ball whilst defenders smashed their arms. Now you can have spaghetti arms like Gunston and it’s ok, because no one is allowed to test your strength anymore.
