It is certainly not a rule that a player nor coach would want in the game. It is a game-management rule It is a marketing rule. It is a rule that was made by someone who has only a surface-level understanding of how the game is played.
it is worth very little, because Atkins made the wrong call and stuck with it. This shows something about his mentality, i.e., he is looking for a fault. The same with the "knock-on" against Mam, when Oates put on a great tackle. He may have passed it into Oates' head, but also, I suspect he...
the only problem with that is destabilising or resetting the structures. I liked Rogers, tbh, solid and offers just as much as Jock. Not sure why he lost out, but someone surely knows
That held call came as soon as Edwards knelt down. The ball never touched the ground at all. The ref literally gives Penrith an advantage like that. Meanwhile, for us, ball not on the ground, wrestle, slow, set line, ok, held.
