The ruck nomination rule, is a farce, it should be simple, if they don't want third man up, then penalise the offending team... Why make it so complicated!!!

The problem there is what if both sides do it? Mind you, never saw the big issue with third man up anyway - created more congestion & repeat stoppages I think was the main argument against it. Has the rule change really rectified it that much? Just another "solution"  to an imaginary problem that caused a real problem and makes the game look like an amateur playground sport. :shh
