Re: Blues Brothers trip to the tribunal - cookie2 - 05-14-2018
I find all of this stuff increasingly wearisome and tedious tbh. We seriously need to drain the swamp - it's a morass of petty rules and restrictions that we don't need. Just fodder for the media who are looking for sensation/scandal rather than producing some real sports journalism. :

This particular crackdown is starting to look a bit silly.
There's probably a dozen instances of umpire contact a round.
Trivial contact shouldn't even be an issue.
Common sense needs to come in to play.
If an umpire feels a line has been crossed report the player...otherwise, play on!

I think the rule is pretty simple and transparent, and probably fair enough. If you deliberately touch the ump, however gently or daintily, you're in strife. And I agree. They're an official of the game, not a fellow player, and you can't be touching them - it breeds a certain lack of respect. It's like a student touching a teacher in my view.

Folks are starting to post pics of incidental umpire contact.

It happens fairly regularly.
With the umpires in close on stoppages you're going to see it often.
There has to be a degree of common sense.
Looks like we're the target for this week.

9 weeks? ;D
Re: Blues Brothers trip to the tribunal - dodge - 05-14-2018
Surely no weeks if May didn't get any

It’s like they can’t work out how to draw distinctions - it’s pretty clear to me what is contact which means nothing or is contact which is threatening, etc

That would be the logical conclusion, if there were any logic involved here.... :

There's not..... but it's probably worth the risk to challenge given our ladder position.
Worst case we get to play a couple of other players (maybe Kerr) for a few weeks
