Smith can thinks what he likes, that not the rule.
This is why fans get frusutrated and angry as they see coaches not knowing the rules and then automatically presume th coach is right and the refs made a mistake, the mistakes were his and his players not the match officials.

At least Catalans won! It's not all bad!

whatever keeps Wigan / Saints off the top of the table longer!

It's been the rule since 2010.

Interpretation: Where opponents do not make a tackle effective in the quickest possible manner but then attempt to drag an opponent into touch or back towards his own in goal area then the referee should immediately call held.

Application: This does not prevent players driving an opponent into touch or back into his own in goal area providing that a team mate of the ball carrier has not added their weight to the tackle. As soon as the referee sees a tackling player dragging the ball carrier in a tackle that involves more than one tackler he will call “held”. If the tackling players continue to move the ball carrier after the “held” call they should be penalised.

When you're 10 metres out of the line facing a gang tackle, you find the floor. Miller's error for me. He got held up too upright and then it turns into a maul.

Exactly

They rarely penalise voluntary tackles now (is it even a thing?) - the ref just calls 'surrender,' allows the defenders to lie on a bit and then play on.

So you're saying the ref should have called held? Wasn't Cudjoe dragging him? Can't quite remember now.

Well, first half was decent. We played with intensity, speed and aggression.

So what did Smith say at HT? 'Chill guys we have this. Now who want a game of XBOX?' Total Jekyll and Hyde performance, AGAIN!

I did chuckle how Frawley had a right go at Miller when he fluffed the short kick off. He has been poor most of the season and has the audacity to do that.

What has Cam Smith done to warrant captaincy?

I fear Newman is going the same way as Stevie Ward too.

Completely different scenario pal

I think you missed off Smith also saying

“ Now I’m off to watch another match so that I can report on that when I give my after match report, just like every other match this season”

Can you expand? Which part?
