  Does it matter which ball is used? Can't you take the quick throw in with any of the balls?

  If the NRL/refs are going to get technical with the rules, they should be clear about what ball can be used.  If Parra last night had a second ball and placed in on the touch, do you think we would be having this discussion....I am sure we would still be called up and would have had the 40/20 quick start stopped for some reason.

  There will be times a from a 40/20 ball goes into the stand and another ball isn't quickly available...the Bunnies ball boy last week delayed giving the ball to the Manly player.

  They need to scrap the retarded rule. The 40/20 is adavantage enough. If the nrl want to speed the game perhaps instead they should stop slowing it down ie when they place a player on report they call him out, he walks like one legged camel to the ref. 20 seconds go by for nothing. So the ref can put his arms in front of his face. The game was fast enough before. They should be focusing on how not to slow it down as f'ing above.
