The new rule around penalty corners baffles me. If a forward breaks and the umpire catches them, that particular player is sent back to the half line but can be replaced by a teammate. What a waste of bloody time?  I believe the umpire should reverse the decision or the attack is 1 man down??

On the flip side if a defender breaks their team is penalised by reducing the number of defenders of the PC from 5 to 4 (includes GK).

This to me is a serious imbalance of justice in this rule.

I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts.
