The Rock said:Yep it's a joke. The 10 metre rule is a joke. Didn't even know it existed.
Seriously, they've invented this 10 metre rule shit because they know the refs have a very poor interpretation of the rules (No common sense). Therefore, saying to the refs "team must have progressed 10 metres forward" is a bit more black and white for them, thus easier. Pathetic.
Coxy said:I don't know whether income protection insurance would be available given the level of income the players can get and the high risk of career ending injuries.
However, professional indemnity insurance may be possible to cover lawsuits arising from court action surrounding foul play I guess.
Coxy said:Well yes, but I would still think the players can get some kind of professional indemnity insurance that can pay out lawsuits in the situation that they do injure someone badly while playing the game and get sued.
Just like in other professions if you inadvertently cause financial damage to your employer or their customers via a mistake in doing your job, your professional indemnity insurance can cover the costs of that.
Coxy said:True, it'd be a case by case situation no doubt.
