Do snooker players secretly look at the draw? Or does it really not bother them?
Discuss.

Actually, it would. Pocket nomination is the best thing that could happen to snooker

Snooker doesn't need any rule changes.
The only thing that should even be considered in my opinion is not being allowed to roll up behind your nominated colour (not just on a free ball.) But even that doesn't always give you an advantage even if it's a sausage move.
Oh, and referees should be expected to use more discretion when implementing the miss rule. OK, there may be an easier way to hit the required ball, but I think the need to try to get it safe should be taken into account more than it currently is.

How is it a sausage move? You're playing a snooker. Literally the name of the game.

Yeah I know, it's not something I'd be crusading about, it's just crossed my mind a couple of times. Why should it be different for a free ball? The player has fouled, if anything it's more appropriate to punish them for it.
As I said, snooker doesn't need any rule changes.
Unfortunately I think it's only a matter of time before one is made. I hope I'm wrong.

I think you're right with the question about not doing it for a free ball. I've often wondered why you can't.
