Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3036745, member: 8215"] It's not just the lack of wrestling, it's the lack of hands in the ruck. When the ref calls held, because the tacklers haven't twisted themselves around the player and the ball, they're able to immediately get up an go to marker. The simple remedy here is that when the ref calls "held", the players have to get off immediately. If they get tangled, or have to peel off one-by-one, and infringe the ruck, too bad. Coaches will have to teach their players to tackle in such a way as they can get off immediately. But it won't happen, because the refs will need to blow the penalty, and they won't, because they think "letting the game flow" is blowing less penalties, instead of actually penalising slow-down tactics out of the game.
