OPTION 2

There is always that old saying "If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying" and Jack St. Clair believes in this up until a certain point. Everyone does it, and sometimes they get caught. Nothing wrong with that, so long as there isnt intent to injure and it doesn't break the spirit of the game. Mostly talking about hooks where you try and prevent the player from gaining an advantage, but only to slightly disrupt them. Little whacks to protected areas just to keep the opponent off their game, run a little bit of interference, holding in the corners. Maybe a facewash. These are all not the most egregious of cheats but if you are sly enough and do it in a manner the ref doesn't see or think it was worth calling as part of their game management plan, it for sure give you an upper hand on the way to winning. Nobody except the salty fans will remember a slight hook in a championship game, but they will remember you holding up the trophy.
