  16. all the new rules seem to get expanded and then interpreted too technically in a way that defies common sense and any feel for the game. additionally many players start to exploit new rules in ways never originally intended so a new rule brought in for possibly a good reason (though sometimes just an over-reaction) ends up impacting in many ways not intended. umpires need to given more rein to use common sense in order to ignore the inconsequential technical breeches. e.g. the reserved zone, the third man up joke etc and a simple solution to the 30 sec rule is to not have one and just stop the clock until the kick is taken (no running down the clock). if a player is wasting time (not clock time) then ump has the power to say '5 seconds', 'move it on' or 'play on' if ignored
