Yes, though I seem to remember reading about an amusing IRLB decision to make an official amendment to the unofficial policy of ignoring that rule in the early 90s!
My idea is for an tweak/evolution of the existing 'settlement' rather than rolling back to feeding the tunnel.

[quote="gutterfax":2v2cei1t]I like Bazza. He chose the name of a cross dressing Austalian institutions other persona.....and is your typical Aussie w@nker living in London whilst he tries to get some culture by visiting Prague to get pi55ed on Cheap Star, getting a fondle from a dodgy hooker in amsterdam and eating a snail for a bet when in paris. All of these things will make him a cultural icon when his visa runs out and he is sent the way of his great grandparents....alas, not in chains this time.[/quote:2v2cei1t]

More often than not NRL teams struggle when they are coming off the bye'"
Yeah, but at the end of the season, I think its worth it.
Top team get a week off. They also only have to win one game to get to the GF, which I think is deserved when they've finished top of the pile.
Top three teams get a "2nd" life and 4th and 5th are scrapping to stay in.
I agree with most on the dragging into touch rule. Just apply the same rules in that scenario as you do over the rest of the pitch and it works - i.e. once momentum has stopped the ref calls held. It was never a problem before so I don't see why they need to play with it now. It generally only happens when someone is running laterally out wide or when a centre has given an ill advised pass, and I have no problem with poor play of that kind being punished.
I also agree with The Offside Monkey on the need to change the restart after a player has been held up over the line. The current system means that the attacking side is penalised for getting over the opposition line. For example, if you get held up over the line on the 3rd tackle, all of your momentum has gone and you have to effectively start a new 2 tackle set, which is basically useless. In a game that is all about territory, it is perverse that you should be punished for getting over your opponent's line.
The counter argument to this is usually that the current system rewards 'good defence'. I say to this two things: 1. Letting your opponent get over your line does not constitute good defence. 2. If you stop an opponent from grounding the ball you ARE rewarded - by not conceding a try.
The old rule of restarting with an attacking scrum 10 metres out did load the dice a bit excessively, I'll admit, so I think a drop out would be a perfect way to restart the game in these situations.
