Blind and deaf ‘guinea pigs’

One thing was crystal clear in last night’s season opener between the Bombers and the Crows. Only one team had understood and practised the changed rules, especially sliding into a contest.

 

Crows coach Brenton Sanderson’s contention that the Crows were ‘guinea pigs’ for the sliding rule is nonsense. Both teams were playing under the new rules for the first time (for Premiership points), but only the Bombers seemed to have practised new tackling techniques and understood how to play to the new rules and interpretations.
