Look at RFL aproach to the tackle and the players rolling away. All the refs are playing it the same so it has to be an RFL directive, players are being allowed to take 2-3 seconds before starting to get off the tackle. Look at the 3 man tackle, first man is off quick and sprinting back to the defensive line before the other 2 move, and then they only move when the ref calls move, Cats were utilising this tech, we were not
Apparently it is making the game more free flowing, than expecting the defending player to roll away. New interpretation means defending teams get time to set the defense, so I dont think it was Aliberts fault.
Cats were playing to the ref we were not
In defence, Cats were sprinting out of the line of defence, we we moving maybe 2 mtrs then waiting for the ball carrier, that gives the attacker momentum'"
ie. Les Catalans won the ruck.
