Little confused here
Struggling to work out how the extension of the goal square and 6-6-6 starting positions helps with the "general congestion" around the game.
1. Yes a extra 9 metres for the guy kicking in gives him extra distance to kick , but if it is not a clean mark isn't it just moving the congestion a extra 9 metres ?
2. 6-6-6 is OK as it allows the 4 players in the square a little more time for a clearance before they are swamped so again if that get a clean kick into the F50 that will help but again solved nothing re general play.
So maybe , just maybe umpire the game properly , if a player is tackled and does not dispose of the ball by a kick or handball they are holding the ball and pay a free kick , quite simple really , dispose of the ball correctly.
Secondly this ruck nomination rule is farcical , throw it up/in and not wait , if 1 from each side contests well and good , if 2 from each side contest pay a free , again simple , it is not rocket science.
