Interested to see poll result on this.
When players kick backwards in backline it is generally to maintain possession of ball for their team or kill time off clock when you got a 1 to 2 goal lead late in a game and do not want to risk other team having any chance of getting ball and scoring. From time to time it would have happened in any era of football but since late 1990's it has become more common and is a regular coached team thing.
If the admin of the game changed it that when you kick backwards in back half to another player on your team it is play on and they can be tackled immediately like when you handball to a mate on your team are you happy for this to be the ruling going forwards from 2019 season?
