Jason Taylor seems typical of the pivot gen x coaches that are now pottering about the scene.
You could throw kimmorley, lam,dymock etc into the mix.
He had a crack and didn't succeed.
For that alone he needs more years in an apprentice role.
He should never have been out with the players the night he was smashed up.
I personally cannot trust a man who resembles Barry gommersal that much.barbarian ......arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!!!

Summed up the situation perfectly.
Those subtle obstructions that lead to tries can go unnoticed but when highlighted upon they should of all been penalties.
For instance, the one that Idris scored against us - I'm sure everyone was screaming at our players calling it such a soft try blah blah, but when a key defender is subtly taken out 10 metres out from our tryline with a rampaging Idris taking advantage of the hole can give that illusion of a soft try, when it was in fact illegally created for him.

I don't know if I agree with Taylor though.
I don't think the obstruction rule is any easy fix at all.
Unless you ban decoys, it's always going to be subjective.
I think the rule is a mess, and the way it's being policed is appalling. But short of ditching decoys (and who's going to suggest that this late in the season?) I don't know what Harrigan can do about it.
Say what you will about Bill - he's arrogant, a show pony etc - but he's no dill.
I don't envy him in this situation.

He talks about wanting a black or white solution and then offers up "can't gain an advantage"?
Define 'gain an advantage'? I bet if you asked 10 people they'll all give you 10 different answers. Therefore how can it be black or white?Exonerate the West Memphis Three - www.wm3.org
