But, wait a second ... Whoreforn & Geebung will both hate these interpretations, especially the other changes about dropping the knees to get high contact frees! :birthday

Right on cue, Hodge and Dangerfield call the ruck rule change ridiculous.

Good thing is he is training the house down and so he will have greater stamina to tap it to the opposition for longer during a game! :clapping
