I seem to remember a team (Hull KR?, 1980s?) using a 'wedge' formation from tap penalties a few times. It was bit like a scrum formation in reverse, with the ball carrier at the front. I think it was outlawed quite quickly, or perhaps they just decided it wasn't that effective after all.

Anyone else recall this?

ryan hudson also pushes opposition players off the tackle quite often which is supposed to be a penalty, amazes me how many times he gets away with it!

No, you're not dreaming. It was a Cup tie live on BBC and I think it was against Swinton (Ryan Giggs' dad, Danny Wilson, who played for Swinton at the time, pulled a hammy in the same game when making a break as I recall). Hull KR actually used this 'move' from a tap close to the Swinton line with (I think) either Len Casey or David Watkinson crashing over with most of the rest of the pack pushing over behind him.

Thanks for the confirmation. I could remember seeing something on the telly and I was fairly sure it was HKR but that was all!

Bring back "the wall" move from tap penalties, thats what I say......

very rarely in fact
