Just a few of mine...

1)Throwing- This has proliferated in recent years and all teams are "guilty" of it. If the umpires aren't going to enforce the rule, why not scrape it.Deliberate out-of-bounds and kicking in danger, ditto.

2)Teams flooding their defence- I agree with Malcolm Blight on this one; has the potential to ruin a game as it did in the Ess/WCE game on Saturday.

3) My pet hate!!! Defenders using any which way except a method within the laws, to spoil fowards; very ugly!!! Second only to this, is the umpires refusal to penalise them (defenders for it). I thought the third umpire was supposed to get rid of this scragging??? Fowards play in front and ought to receive protection for doing so, instead, defenders are allowed to cannon into their backs, grab them by the jumper and scrag them any which-way, with impunity. An absolute blight on our game!!!

J2!!!
