I agree, given that players can be cited after a match anyway without going on report, the whole nature of putting something 'on report' is just a cop out for the officials.

I agree.

In theory, the on report rule is a good rule, for instances where the ref doesn't get a good view of an incident, but as you say, it is generally a cop out for refs.

I would like to see every game under the scrutiny of a video ref (as in Oz) and if an incident is put on report, that could be quickly scrutinised by a video ref and if appropriate, a player could be sent off and thus the team being sinned against could gain some kind of recompense for maybe an illegal tackle or serious foul play, anything in fact that could result in a ban should see the culprit sent off.

Another rule I would like to see clarified or scrapped, is the voluntary tackle rule. We were of course victims of this against Catalans, when Rangi Chase thought he had been tackled, probably cost us the game.

I can't see why a player should be penalised for putting the ball on the ground and playing it? an advantage is not gained from doing, in fact the opposite is true as it's another tackle completed.

Surely placing the ball on the ground should be deemed as a tackle being completed, with a play the ball to follow.

I would also like to see ball stealing (when more than one player involved) allowed again, as invariably the ref comes up with the wrong decision here.

E.g. a player loses a ball in a tackle and either a scrum is given or he is penalised (where the ref has missed a ball steal in 2 man tackle). The other is where the ball is lost in a tackle and the ref decides the ball has been stolen and penalises the tacklers.

I've seen so many wrong decisions given this season (both ways), that I've lost count, of course Sky camera's help me spot the referee's mistakes and I don't really blame the ref's for getting it wrong, I believe it would be much fairer and less mistakes would be possible if this rule reverted to the original ruling, when the player with the ball was responsible for retaining possession.

i would like to see one rule introduced/one tweaked....and that is the knock on. for me if you drop the ball whatever way your facing you should be relieved of possession it would clear the whole thing right up. the only expection would be ball steal which if not one on one carries a penalty to the team in posession.

also one other thing, this whole downward pressure thing is getting a joke and that freeze frame technlogy is making a mock of the game. for me it should be simple, coudl the player in posession equally lift the ball back up off the floor. some of the more recent decisions given are a joke and the biggets clown stevo make sit even more uncomfortable to watch!!
