Maybe the referees need to start blowing penalties for deliberate ploys to waste time.
What happened to the goal kicking timer? Again, I will revert to round two.
On average we had six tries scored per game. We generally lose 90 seconds between the time they award the try and blow the whistle for the restart.
Seriously, stop the clock from the time they award the try and restart the game.
I understand this all sounds trivial. But over 80 minutes of footy when you take into account the above two examples, we are losing close to 10-12 minutes of game time per game.

This doesn’t even take into account the 40 seconds for drop outs.
Do other fans feel troubled by the lack of actual game time?
