And I thought 2 refs was supposed to fix a lot of this. 1 at the ruck and 1 on the 10.
the touchies are a big reason why forward passes are only randomly called IMO
when i started watching league the touchies always positioned themselves in line with the ball, putting them in a perfect position to rule on forward passes ...
but as the game sped up, it was decided that the touchies needed to help the ref out and mark the 10 meters, hence moving them out of a position to be able to rule on forward passes.
then the game moved to 2 refs, meaning that there should be absolutely zero need for the touchies to be marking the 10 meters, but the touchies have never re-positioned themselves to be in line with the ball...
