| er actually per my earlier post its a bit more complicated than that. There are two levels of rugby league law, one that FA would recognise as those laws enacted by our dear MPs in Whitehall and that appear in black and white even in digital form, and the other the practical application/interpretation of those in case law. except in the RFLs case it was secret case law that you don't tell the fans about. It is that level that is the spot the ball. I have no problem with them getting together at the start of the season and agreeing on the interpretation of the play the ball for the season provided they told the fans about it. It would have saved me a whole season of apoplexy when Saints forever dived at the oncoming tackler. But their embarassing attempts to explain it indicate to me that they knew the fans would find it unintelligible, and not because the fans are stupid, quite the opposite. And those spot the ball competitions used to annoy me too, the panel were barking mad most of the time.
and interestingly they do now announce changes to not just the laws but how they are interpreted, at the start of the season. So we can moan for a whole season, not just the grand final.

| Thought this thread was all about injustice? And also the fact that in a later injustice served up by Steve Ganson, when he eventually agreed that we (and the millions of viewers who saw the injustice on Sky were right and he was wrong, which like the voluntary tackle by Chris Joint cost us victory against Saints and Leeds. At least Smith bugg...d off to Australia whilst Ganson was promoted to the highest office (probably on the 3rd floor, if Red Hall is multi story) at the RFL.
Yes it was right on both counts!!
