Think you should change your name to Stevie Wonder

Half of them?

Really

You actually proved my point there, thank you

Your correct there is currently no mention of playing the ball in the rules of the game - because it is merely the open, accepted interpretation of it, throughout the years (and codes) voluntary tackles have taken different significance which is why the rules you quote are vague. As with the rules about kicking a drop goal, they are kept precise and open, so they outlast current trend and fashions in the sport, and don't need to be updated as every new trick comes into fashion.

If the rules you quoted were strictly followed, we'd see a penalty for it every other week, as a player picks the ball up on his own line, stays on the floor to not be pushed back and the defender waits for him to stand. If you think that that should be penalised, fair enough - but that's not the current interpretation no irony here it is also worth pointing out if you do believe this is a voluntary tackle, there are at least 2 penalties saints should of had for voluntary tackles throughout the game

It's also an irrelevance - Lunt touches hohaia and he falls to the floor (whether that contact was enough for him to fall is another debate ) so the tackle was merely in the process of being complete

There were a few, I also saw Leeds and Warrington fans doing similar, your hatred for Hull is getting embarrassing, the only problem I have ever seen at games in from Warrington fans, hasn't stopped me going and i don't tarnish all your fans with the same brush, I understand like Hull and other clubs it is just a minority.
