Quote: LS13 "Disagree about the tackling into touch . If player is arrested in an upright position and has no control over where the tacklers are taking him then the tackle should stop there . If momentum of the tackle takes him into touch then I am ok with that .
Touching the ball down with the forearm aint having control of the ball , neither is fingertips . Should sort it once and for all . Make it so they have at least something like a grip on the ball .Maybe so that they could possibly be capable of raising the ball in at least one hand after scoring , or at least have the palm of their hand applying the downward pressure . Either that or make it so you just have to cross the line and not ground it at all .'"
Don't agree on the touch thing. At the end of the day, I see it as dumb attack if a player goes to the byline and ends up down a rabbit hole, only to meet 3/4 defenders who then are able to dump the player in to touch.
Agree on the grounding. Should be full control over the ball. Forearm is just a joke because there is no control what so ever over the ball. Any gap between hand and ball which is then caught up purely because the ball has hit the deck is not a try for mine but seems OK nowadays. The Hull KR try at Cas was a disgrace - Liam Watts was it?
