You can solve a lot of b) by doing c).

The interpretation the umpires are asked to follow is not aligned with how fans want the game to run, hence the frustration with the people enforcing it.

• Ruck nomination only slows the game down.
• Allowing mauls to continue for up to 30 seconds before calling a ball up slows the play down, or produces more incorrect disposals which seem to be allowed when there is a maul.
• Contact below the knees is a rule which has been around based off 1 incident! There was already a rule for this - tripping.

If there are 2 opposite and correct adjudications for the one football act, there's something wrong with the rules.
