Dead set watching the Raiders v Cowboys game tonight I have to say it won't be long until we allow forward passes as long as there isn't defender close to you, there were that many forward passes and Campese seems to have them to a fine art.
The one that did me though was the Penalty against Southern for his "late hit on Campese" when Campese kicked the ball.
If that is the new rule it is rubbish, if they have set a precedent, then basically you wont be able to hassle the kicker at all, just run at him, because he knows you cant touch him, if you do he rolls away and you get penalised.
That was an absolute joke, we were cruelled by it in a few games especially the bulldogs, but he was hit at the exact same time the ball hit his boot. There was no way for Southern to pull out and nor should have ben a fair hit and an absolute joke.
Warren smith was looking for excuses for the referees, and in my opinion Warren smith was one of the main people pushing for 2 refs, if he has it his way, everyone will go out there wrapped in cotton wool, with massive pads and helmets on......I remember when this game use to be for men
