Well, the whole point is that in the old days it said player , the new law says opponent
And???
Opponents are players too...it just made more sense to indicate that the offence would not be by their own team mate. Teams have zero incentive to block their own thrower??
But in a way that's irrelevant...my argument is I would not apply a different sanction for the same offence. I think choose one and apply it consistently.
I choose FK every time (more based on the old law wording AND the QT law wording on the same action). I may well be wrong...but at least I'm consistent in the application.
You changing the sanction based on the team throwing just does not make sense to me.
Im also happy to agree to disagree. Which is the point I am at.
