Law changes and trials for 2017/18

Stop the clock every time the ball isnt in play.
Clamp down on GKs time wasting.
Introduce lengthy bans for blatant diving.
Keep the games 45 minutes each way.

If you stop the clock every time the ball isn't in play and keep the 45 minutes you're going to increase the overall game time to somewhere around 2.5-3 hours, or is that what you're trying to do?

The suggestion IS to stop the clock when the ball is not in play and reduce actual playing time to 30 minutes per half which, according to a study, is about the amount of actual game time we already get.

I know - and I support it. I was referencing the fact that Balby was suggesting stopping the clock but not reducing the time per half to suit.
