I suppose the rushed behind change was inevitable, although I have no problem with the present rule. If they want to change it, why not treat it like any other intentional out of play - free to the other team?
Extra umpire? OK
But I don't like a further increase to the kicking distance - there's a place for the short kick in the game's tactics - and using the padding on the posts as a kind of boundary is stupid when there's a line already drawn on the ground. That one sounds like a retrospective attempt to justify the decision on BH's goal against us.
