I can see where both of you are coming from, but respectfully have to disagree, from my point of view anyway. I play in the ruck and am usually outweighed my opponent, but actually think the new rule disadvantages a player like me, because now i don't get the opportunity to get into the position I want and hold my ground... What happens now is the bigger bodied ruckman can just bump the samller ruckman out of the way as they are both on the move at the same time and the bigger guy usually win out.
I was up against some quite big guys last week which probably exacerbates the problem I face. I myself prefer the old rule, but will have to adapt.
Not from what I have seen Lutz
Say the ruckman are closer together than the supposed 1m apart, how do you decide who gets the free if they are both just standing there
Everyone looks overweight next to you, Cash.
