    Yeah sorry I don't follow the logic here either.

    Thanks my point, if our form shouldn't be judged in the JLT and we should wait until the season starts then shouldn't that also apply to the rule changes as well? Maybe the umpiring are using the JLT to work on the rules as well.

    I have never taken preseason seriously. However the rules are for the season and of course I will challenge them if I don’t like them, they are not just for JLT

    Besides that you used to take preseason losses under B-Mac quiet seriously, I still can't work out why if the "JLT is nothing more than a training drill" surely the umpires and the competition should be given the same scope to use the series to work on the interpretation of the rules? You've dismissed them point blank without even giving them a chance and while I know rules changes are a bugbear of yours if the JLT is just a training drill for clubs then the surely rules also need time to work through with the umpires, teams and the fans.
    To me the 6, 6 , 6 worked pretty well on what I saw. I'm not going to shut it down just because it's a change.

    I never have taken the preseason seriously, under any coach. I didn’t even go to the 2010 grand final.

    As for rule changes 6.6.6 does nothing to enhance the game, just makes the umpires job harder.

    I don't like it and still don't but given the way we have cut our ruck options I think we have to get used to it and maybe even accept that Bontempelli might have to as well at a pinch
    I'll be annoyed if we have to do that. Like using your best suit to lift hay bales in.

    Oh come on. Who didn't smile when the whole crowd was chanting 'We are not worthy' to Barry Hall.
    That was a great start to the year.

    You know I love your work BAD but the 666 rule is awesome and 100% makes the game better...further, the umpires don’t really have any more to do now than before.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    I'm not one for stuffing around with the game (stop changing the damn rules every five minutes), but I'm of the same opinion with this one. The 6/6/6 rule is good.

    The umpires have to delay the start of each centre bounce and ensure players are in position.

    As for enhancing the game, what for 10 seconds. Congestion still happens around the ground if that is what the aim is to reduce it, well as I said it does for 10 seconds?

    Believe me this is a precursor for Zones to come in at some stage and then I doubt I will be watching any more.

    666 is the devils number maybe it should be 555.
