Quote: Bulliac "I've never been a lover of the "let it go - it's good enough", policy. It 's the same with the play the ball and 'straying' offside, and as soon as you start letting things slide the players just take the P further and further.

Nor, before anyone mentions it, do I accept that playing to the rules kills the game only because they feel comfortable that they will get away with it, because there is an advantage to be gained and if they don't then the opposition will.

If referees pull up ALL forward passes and incorrect PTBs, then pro players will perceive no advantage and think far more carefully about doing it. Of course, there will always be inadvertent forward passes [and sloppy PTBs and occasional offsides] but they will be enormously reduced if the refs were to stamp on it with a firm hand...'"



But that would require some match officials that had 2 working eyes and a pair of gonads.

It really annoys me when there is a blatant forward pass about 5 yard in from touch and the linesman doesn't see it

By the way that didn't happen on Friday,we were just e

Quote: daveyz999 "You shout forward hoping to sway the ref into thinking it's forward and giving you a penalty.

Or is that just me?'"

Problem is the ref's get wise to it and you probably end up getting less calls then because the referee thinks you are trying to influence a decision.

Personally I think the best chance of survival for the Bulls is if the stay away fans can be persuaded to return and get behind the club they've enjoyed the glory times with. How many extra points is a few thousand extra Bulls fans who get behind the team worth? Fate will be determined by the Bradford public I believe. Good luck I genuinely hope the Bulls stay up for the sake of all of you that have stuck by the club through thick and thin.

Perhaps we need to start shouting 'backwards' all the time.
Reverse psychology and all that...

With forward passes being let go, which seems what most of us think, as opposed to them being missed, is becoming a problem that will require some strict policing before it gets completely out of hand(pun intended). For example if the officials allow a FP just prior to a try being scored and allowed, when previously they pulled your team for a FP that obviously couldn't be missed by anyone. Then the calls of "bent" fixed and so on will likely continue throughout the game.
However if the Ref. was to have a zero tolerance to FPs some teams would lose more games than they would win, and the game would be slower but maybe fairer, and coaches would eventually get the message that the % age game doesn't work any longer. As a forward pass, and the dubious Lead runner (called dummy runner, in my book still offside) would never be a tactic employed by teams.
