But it isn't a new rule. It's an old rule added back in.

That's as maybe, but it's still sh*te.

Sort of. Always been a contentious rule and this variant is more subjective than most and is doomed to fail the moment a big team loses a game due to it being applied against them instead of for them.

I actually feel for the ref on this one, why create a rule so open to interpretation as to be ludicrous. The ref in a split second has to decide, are there two or more in the tackle, has the tackle actually been made, was the ball-playing arm touching the floor and if so is that a completed tackle or is it still live.

Stealing the ball as with reefing it in the tackle should be made illegal, if a player loses the ball in the impact that's his fault and a handover should take place. Ball stealing IMHO adds nothing to the spectacle of the game, it's a cheap trick, it's petty and a bit RU for me. Keep it simple, you get tackled, you get up and play the ball.

Lol did not no it was a old rule and you are right BarnsleyGull it is

Same as last week but hampshire for walker and pitts for kelepi and tangata drops out with kelepi on bench

Effing Ben Proe commentating.

Shocking ends to the sets.

Few bad decisions from the ref imo so far, going okay but need to be more clinical.

Agree, again we don't seem to know what to do come the 5th.

Well we now know Wigan’s plan to deal with Tom, get Isa to whack him across the chin taking him out of the game.

To ve fair we scored of backof a pen

A good entertaining first half
Deffo a lower arm contact on Tom.
Just don't seem to get the brakes.
Happy with that first 40
