| Quote: lister "It's the Super League and RFL's fault for not aspiring to have faster and cleaner rucks like the NRL have. Every week in SL I think "That would already be a penalty in NRL". You should only have more time if you've completed a proper dominant tackle.
The NRL also call held earlier when 2 players are holding an attacker up, to deter the 3rd man tackles.
We wonder why we get battered at WCC and Internationals.'"
It's amazing the difference when a SL ref is in charge of an international. They will not police the ruck in SL, allowing teams to lay on for at least a good 5-6 seconds, but when they ref Australia v New Zealand, or one of them v England, they will penalise players for laying on after 2-3 seconds.
You'd have thought with the invention of Full Time refs they would have improved, better training etc but they are no better than when the likes of Bob Connolly, Stuart Cummings, Russell Smith, Steve Pressley and Karl Kirkpatrick were refereeing.

| Of course all these refereeing discrepancies could be ruled out by a big screen at every game & the on field ref could just be a mouthpiece for the real refs watch the tv screen. But do we want a 4 hour game that stops every few seconds to check a decision? The game would finish up as a four hour borefest more suited to our friends across the pond.
As Morrisey said, it is an entertainment business & as long as refs are consistent what more can we expect. Thaler was good against Widnes & didn't we have Hicks at Hull who seemed to have a decent game on the radio. Unfortunately,coaches will always get teams like Wigan to bend the rules in order to get the upper hand because they can't win on a level playing field ,but it does ruin the spirit of the game.
Unfortunately,the game has suffered over the superleague years from ,in the early days, being the fast ,craved for spectacle to turning into a tactically spoiled modern game.

| Wigan lay on as long as possible, other teams, particularly Leeds leave hands in to slow things down. It's all cheating within the rules, all teams do things that they hope will give them an edge, like when Briers continually cried/bleated/ whined to the ref to buy a few seconds... Third man in tackle, everybody does it, but then, everybody hates Wigan, so we do it more/differently/more dangerously... Trust me, we have heard it all before...

| Both Wigan and Huddersfield until recently have employed the same "slow the ruck" tactics seen in the NRL.
This started with Michael Maguire and Nathan Brown, and has continued under Wane and to an extent, Anderson.
In terms of "cannonball". a lot of teams are doing it or a variant of it. Needs stopping but it;s not just Wigan

| Instead of a ref, I'd like someone from the world of science, perhaps Professor Brian Cox, to explain why Sean O'Loughlin has some kind of individual problem with unavoidable forward momentum. Every time he gets up to play the ball he is dragged forward by some invisible force, lurching forward and takes a couple of steps past the marker until he is able to stop and play the ball. Not only is this seemingly unique to Sean (which must be a bit embarrassing) it also is invisible to all officials so it must have something to do with science.....mustn't it?

The hands in at the play the ball is every bit as bad as deliberate slow play. I would like the RFL to try to stamp this all out and promote skilful and entertaining play (Wigan and Leeds would be no worse off for this). I am willing to accept that could just be me. As you said though rightly or wrongly (often wrongly) if the referee doesn't penalise something then it's fair game.

Not just him loads of players do it cudjoe is one of the worst (rugby league players ever) for doing that. The annoying thing is the niggly offences like this can be sorted very easily by a few penalties for the first few offences. Coaches and team mates will soon stop the culprits for putting their team under the cosh.

I see a change to sentencing guidelines, no rule change.
The change in sentencing guidelines refers to shoulder charges (Hansen's wasn't, no rotation of the body) and cannonball tackles (Hansen's wasn't, regardless of whether you think he was committed or late, he hit the hip not the leg). Assuming this is the link you are referring to anywayhttps://www.castigers.com/article.php?id

Leeds are far and away the masters of leaving hands in, really annoys me.. We seem to lay-on, then clean break, which makes it look as if we are doing nothing wrong. But at least it allows the opposition to PTB without interference.. Leeds are really good at slyly leaving a hand in/on... Every credit to em.

| I think the moral of the tale that The Mighty Wire need to stop being squeaky clean & start dishing the dirt with the rest.

Quote: Grimmy "
The amendment to the dangerous contact ruling sees the sentencing tariff for this offence increased from Grade A-D to Grade B-E and relates to what are commonly known as ‘cannonball tackles'.
A cannonball tackle occurs when a defender makes dangerous contact with the leg of an opponent who is already held in possession and deemed to be in a vulnerable position.
Previously, the onus was on the disciplinary process to demonstrate that the contact to the legs was direct. For the 2014 season, the amendment recognises that there can be an unacceptable risk of injury to the attacking player regardless of whether or not contact with the legs was direct or that the knee was directly targeted.
The Match Review Panel will consider a number of factors when reviewing such incidents, including the level of force used and the angle, and point of contact.'"

| Moving off the mark is endemic in the sport now and almost every player does it and it winds me up to a point that even Wire doing it p*ss*s me off.

I give no credit to any of it, even if a Wire player does it. It takes away from the slick spectacle of a sport we should have. It makes it uglier than it should be.

The thing i dont get is the fact that Wigan, with all its rich history........with being a rugby mad town.... With the largest volume of young players to choose from, ergo the best young talent.... is that they choose to play this particular brand of rugby.
Surely they should be the trailblazers... leading the way with a new and glorious expansive game... Teaching their endless stream of quality young players the right way to play the game and helping RL to grow as a sport... Instead we get "go out there and knock them out"... "ROADKILL ACHEIVED".. Lying on in the tackle, attacking the legs... all sorts of stuff.
Maybe its why their best young talent always seems to be hell bent on getting out of there fairly sharpish.

| You can't blame any player or coach for attempting to take or create any advantage they can within or on the edge of the laws of the game. It is up to the RFL and referees to notice and then consistently apply the relevant law, or a common sense interpretation of the law.
Unfortunately consistency and common sense are all too lacking within the RFL and their referees.
