right in front of us, correct call no penalty, cru player was still moving, both feet seemed to be on the ground

Positives:-

Goal line defence was very much improved, especially during one particularly tough spell in the first half.
We had a pari of halves who complimented each other.
Our attacking kicks were good.
Interchanges were better.

Negatives:-
Long kicking game was still poor.
We switched off to late two late tries in.
Fitz still being played out of position, he is too slow for the back three and needs to be playing prop.
Wingers still got no decent ball.

It should have been a penalty. It dosnt matter if his feet don't leave the ground or is still moving. You cannot drag a player into touch, that rule change started at the beginning of last season

My understanding of this stupid rule is that you can push them into touch as long as their feet are in contact with the floor at all times and it becomes a penalty if some one pulls them, feet come off the floor or momentum has stopped. I thought it was a penalty to be honest as I think it was yeaman who began to pull the player into touch but fortunately got away with it. To many grey areas to this type of penalty.

also if one of the ball carrier's teammates joins the tackle then held has to be called immediately, if it moves after held is called it is also a penalty apparently (not saying this happnened last night, just adding to your general point)

That confirms how confusing it is to control on the field. My 2 gripes are the point you've made as they should only call held if momentum is stopped by their team mate been involved and the feet off the floor, the tackling players will have no intention of lifting his feet off the floor but what's to stop the attacking player using the defenders as leverage to lift his feet and give the impression that he has been lifted. As I said to many grey areas,

Yes
Yes
no
yes
yes
Experience,probably Turner will be left out.

Now please stop shouting,I am a bit fragile this morning.

No need. How do you think a comment like that makes you look ?

Westerman looked to put a couple of shady kicks to touch in. When Whiting took over the duties it looked like he was going to hoof it over the roof.

The whole team looked much busier and interested last night.

I can`t understand why they don`t use Whiting,he always seems to get decent lengths on his kicks to touch.

Good half back play throughout Horne and Obst very good.
Good goal line defence.
Very good attacking kicks.
Decent discipline.
Some good tries scored (and 8 of them in total )
Improved but still patchy defensive line speed.
Average/poor ptb speed - regular "loss of collision".
Better and more logical bench rotation.
Most effective three performers - Horne/Obst/Whiting
Least effective three performers Manu (injured?)/Yeaman/Turner.

Thought we were obviously much better and amazing to see us score so many tries from inside the oppos 20 metre area. crusaders were rubbish I thought and not a patch on the side when noble was in charge. Good to see us actually making some ground from penalty touch kicks too.

Unlike others, I thought his interchanges weren't that great again. He only brought moa on with 5 minutes left in the 1st half and could have given washbrook longer at hooker IMO once the game was won

expect crusaders to be bit stronger when their 3 players get clearance
