When was the last time we saw an optional 20mtr restart with a kick to touch? 7 tackle play is preffered option, but the rule is still there. Does not say it will never be used! And with a decent kicker its still an option for a team stuck in the red zone. Booting down field into arms of the full back is not the better option. Dont see it as being a too risky play, just one thats harder to achieve, hence the reward.
If you are having to kick from that position its because you are in trouble, so getting a decent kick away is always going to be hard.
As for the Milford one, if you dont see it you cant give it!

So none then.

It won't be interesting in the slightest. Another pointless gimmick.

Do the merry whistleblowers consult with clubs on rule changes ? Seems odd to introduce something that has made didly squat of difference in NRL.

That is near enough what the coaches I asked about it said ...

Are these changes just cut and paste from the NRL or has Ganson had his thinking cap on!

Ganson would need more than a cap to be able to think.

Shows a lack of knowledge.
17 members sat on the laws committee only 2 match officials amongst that group, 1 the MO coach and 1 full time MO. Mr Ganson not on that list, or anywhere near the committee So not sure why its whistleblowers to blame.
They didnt adopt the 2 points for field goal, so not full cut and paste.
And there was a successful 20/40 in aus comp. So it can be used successfully.
A lot is probably driven by which direction the international rules will go, makes sense to align rules if at all possible.

Was there? When?

Ganson was on the committee last year when it considered changes for resumption of the 2020 season, so not that wide of the mark really. Did you not know that ?

Was about 40/45 ..20-40s in the q cup mate.
Not a great ratio
Won’t see it used
