But if you think about it, when we make them black and white, it's a bit like the head collisions and stuff like that now.
There are things that go on, like that charge in that game, right, where if that had been let to be a try, no one is going to whinge.
Because it was obvious he wasn't trying to break old mate's legs, which is the intent of the rule.
He got the ball.
Is to protect the kicker so they don't get injured.
And they've got no problem with that.
It's a little bit like head collisions and stuff and that contact to the head, right?
Every so often there's an accidental one, which is part of our game, yet it's still a penalty.
We made them black and white, and what I feel the danger is with that and where it robs our game is our game is a collision sport.
It's all of those things.
Those things from time to time will happen in spite of rules and all the rest of it.
Okay, if we want to go down the path of, and really you're right, like Australia's got nothing to whinge about because the letter of the law, that was the right decision, right?
And no one's going to argue with that.
Equally, though, I would think the fair punter who's watching the game, who understands the game, is not going to whinge if they give the try either because you think, you know what, he wasn't trying to take his legs, he grabbed the ball and brushed his leg.
Well, we know.
Gordy, you're an intellectual giant.
I understand that.
And the thing is, as Dan alluded to earlier, him and I being involved in this is an upgrade.
Okay?
So just leave it at that.
