"2012 NAB Cup trial rule - ruckmen not permitted to make contact with each other before throw-ins and field bounces for cleaner contests."

What are they doing to our game?

Sensible answer. Better to trial it in practice games and at least look at it.

Firstly these games are like 20/20 cricket. No one takes them seriously so it is a point of difference and secondly it gives us a look at rules. Some have actually worked and gone into the regular season and some stink like the last touching it before it goes out of bounds.

Pretty sure it is in again round one but with a small change. Forgotten what the change is.

The game is getting to look more like Basketball, ot "touch football."

As others have said, it's worth a trial to see how well things run.
