I bitch about Refs as much as anyone, and I hate the 'Game Management' nonsense, but I do understand that there has to be discretion in Reffing and Policing.

If you called everything by the letter of the law it would be the most boring game in the world.
When tax rules change, do you continue doing what you've always done, or adjust to find new strategies?

The rulebook needs a significant overhaul and simplification. A lot of rules are relics from the days of wooden flat bladed sticks, no helmets, 30 kph top speeds, and terrible goalie equipment.

The game is so fast and the refs have to watch for a lot of things that are kinda irrelevant.
