Puck outs going out so quick now it’s a bit of a joke but the other side of that is slowing it down means defenses get set and likely see far less goals and far more rucks under puckouts

Too often you see them squinting and fumbling a note pad.
It would surely make their life much easier.
I agree with you with the speed teams want to play at

I’ve said it countless times, I think at adult level the game would be better served if puckouts had to be taken in the same way as a free ball.
Would add a few percentage points onto the degree of difficulty and reduce accuracy as well leading to less of these fast balls to loose men.

Referee HAS to be scorekeeper. Madness otherwise

The Bull O Brien had a great impact - if he didn’t miss the easy chance at end it could have landed 3 points in 20 mins

The bull is nearly as bad a nickname as the terminator all the same

I think the game benefits as a spectacle from puck outs being taken as quick as possible but refs are maddeningly inconsistent on how and when they allow it

Correct,leads to more scores which we all want to see
Nothing argument, if the referee needs to slow it down he’ll stop gK’s going so quick.
It also makes taking pot shots a more risky proposition as you’re giving possession and scoring opportunity back to the opposition.
It could also lead to more rucks, which no one wants to see.

As soon as the ball is dead or over the bar you should be able to take your puck out

Leads to those puckout-catch-strike-point scores, which is not what we want to see, you want passages of play.

We also want more contests for the ball.

I’d be in favour of slower puckouts. The more savage intinse battles for possesion the better.
