Agree as sentimental as its meant to be it really offers nothing to the game.
Common sense applied with that one.
Hopefully they adjust the interpretation on ruck contests and let them jump again.
It will go the other way imo.
With last disposal coming in between the arcs as well, we are getting to the point that rucks won't be needed, sort of like what we saw in the international rules games.
Clubs will just pick an extra big bodied mid in the near future.
Easy fix, change the interpretation that if you cross the midline to block an opposition ruck it's a free kick - similar to the tunnelling rule in the marking contest.
With the less variance in the trajectory of the throw up the need to cross the midline is going to be reduced.
It's not a hard skill to hold the ball at the mid point with one hand and roll it off the fingers so it goes straight up.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
