Because it is helpful and causes no problems. |

| Quote JonM="JonM"Yep, seen so many otherwise great matches utterly ruined by corner posts. Typical northern luddite thinking, "we've managed ok with them for the last 100 years", "shouldn't you wait for a new season to change the rules"... Next up, decisive NRL action the plague of slight variation in post protector thickness that is spoiling our sport.'"
if you want to go and watch a game like RL thats not accually RL then go and watch RU or gridiron or basketball. |

Contrary to what the NRL clubs think?
Quote SBR="where this all started"Under the existing rule a corner post that was leaning inwards could have prevented a try from being awarded because the rule gave the referee or the video-referee no discretion," he said.
"Given the increasing scrutiny that every decision is now under, there was a strong view that the rule should be changed before a team is disadvantaged.'" |

Seems a good idea.
Could see some really spectacular dives for the try line with the ball in one hand along the lines of whats seen in the NFL with the Pylon rule but having to ground the ball as well.
Should at least give it a chance.

Yes.
The theoretical possibility that a team might be disadvantaged in the rare situation of a corner flag leaning to a significant degree is not a problem. |

It isn't? Why not?
Lets remove the possibility of it altogether. After all, what's the downside? |

| Quote Under the new interpretation, if the ball is not in possession of a player and it makes contact with the corner post (eg from a kick) the ball will be deemed to be touch-in-goal as per the existing rule.'"
So the new rule only applies when a player in possession of the ball touches the corner post. Every other pre existing rule still applies?
What utter bollox and typical Australian logic.
If no one is in possession of the ball and it hits the post it is still a 20m optional restart, but a player in possession of the ball can freely walk all over the post. This surely makes the game more complicated to an outsider and completely contradicts every other rule. |

The downside is the additional complexity. Not just in this new exception but also in judging where a player first entered touch. That will cause plenty of actual problems, all to try and prevent a purely hypothetical one. |
