The free kick was there & we didnt deserve to win

Simon Beasley gave KB a good throttling on SEN this morning, saying the rule was just wrong and that he told KB that it would decide the result of a game eventually.

They just replayed part of what Beasley said . KB is loving the attention though with no intention of scrapping the new interpretation.

Former umpire John Russo blamed the umps in past for not enforcing the push in the back and that encouraged the AFL to go over the top and introduce this new interpretation. Another former umpire Humphrey-Smith and Walls have also bagged the new rule. This will be in the papers tomorrow.

Even Derek Humphrey-Smith says the rule is confusing.
Kev, that alone makes it a no-brainer that the rule is crap.

Now I may be slightly mistaken, but didn't the NRL decide to scrap a rule change earlier this year (after a couple of rounds) for obstruction, because it was seen not to work? Why can't the elite few realise that the VAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST majority think the rule is garbage?

The NRL are also about to amend their goalkicking laws as well to avoid confusion.

How about what KB said this morning - "why would we listen to the fans"  .

Sure you don't make rules on the run by popular vote but we as supporters and members are major stakeholders in the game.
