Also if you watch 70s and 80s ball ups and throw ins the ball is put back into play immediately by the umpire no waiting for 5 to 10secs for 32 players to get there. If they change no rules at least go back to this so there's little time to set up defensively
Apparently Buckley said he would like prior opportunity to go altogether. I think that will just make players not want to go and get the ball, wait for opponent to get it then tackle him
I think the team prior opportunity is a great idea. It is also a small tweak to the rules, not a major one like some of the others suggested, and it could have a huge positive impact on the game.
