Stuff that sucks about the new laws in the Super 14 (in my opinion):

•  they make the game more complex
•  they increase referee discretion over what level of penalty (long arm or short arm) to apply to offences
•  there appears to be more infringing around the ruck due to the penalty downgrade
•  the touch judges have been needlessly renamed (change for change sake)
•  when a player hits the corner flag the ref has to go upstairs because the flag is no longer an indicator that you're in touch (why change the flag law?)
•  scoring off 5m scrums just seems to be a lot lot easier (too easy?)
•  the ref has to yell free kick, scrum or penalty advantage so viewers and players know what type of advantage is being played
•  the offside at tackle law causes scrambling defence to have to play against all natural instinct and not tackle a player from behind until that player crosses the line of the last tackle
•  they don't fix the mess at the breakdown
•  it's still up to the ref's judgement whether a player won the ball fairly before the ruck formed or had his hands in the ruck and should be penalised.

Stuff that is great about the ELVs in the Super 14 (in my opinion):

•  we don't have endless kicks to touch from the 22
•  they allow for referee discretion so clearly cheating sides get full arm penalties for repeatedly cheating but when its a grey area "both teams infringing situation" the penalty is only a freekick
•  fullbacks and scrambling defence have to think very fast on their feet and take options more cleverly and skilfully... there is actual encouragement for counter attack
•  scrums are finally an attacking weapon again
•  technicalities and different interpretations don't result in an age waiting for one player to line up a kick and slot 3 undeserved points
•  the game is faster
•  the ball is in play longer
•  fitness counts for more, set play counts for less (levels the playing field slightly and gives hope to scratch teams like the Lions and Island teams once again)
•  they really encourage offloading and attacking play and swing the pendulum in favour of attack instead of defence

Things I thought would suck but don't in reality:

•  I thought that scrummaging would become uncontested and that it would encourage teams to field a front row of loose forwards. That has proven bloody unlikely to be a good strategy with so many more scrums occurring.
•  I thought fewer lineouts would suck, but they are still a critical element of the sport and I don't miss watching teams trudging back into position for another midfield lineout.
•  I thought the offside tackle line would allow way too many breakaway tries, but I think it encourages and rewards offloading and attack, reduces incidents of "lazy runners", makes the game less dominated by defence and forces teams to rethink their defensive patterns.
•  I thought the no kick outs on the full from the 22  would result in aimless kicking, but instead it results in a whole new type of set play•  the kicking duel! It encourages teams to play the game and try different options, really adding interest for me.

New laws I'd personally like to see trialled:

•  Drop goal attempts that go dead result in the scrum• back option like any other kick (this simplifies the rules, makes them more consistent and discourages drop goals•  win win win!)
•  Allow the TMO to judge on any incident between the last breakdown and a possible try rather than just incidents in goal (removes the forward pass wins a world cup quarter final bullpuckey)
•  Allowing hands in the ruck for players on their feet, or instead, making it that the Ref has to yell hands off as soon as he judges a ruck is formed. Until he does so, any player can use hands in any ruck, but as soon as he yells hands off, everyone must keep hands off until ref says "ball is out" or be penalised (removes those "he was hard done by" ruck events).

** note that some of the things I think suck are directly entwined with things I think are good! Ref discretion CAN  be a good thing, but it can be a terrible thing... all depending on the individual situation: no two rucks are the same!
