Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 3533234, member: 1978"] I find it frustrating and confusing because in general play running behind a player, no matter what, is a penalty unless you stop and concede or do voluntary tackle. The rules are a growing cluster.😖 The latest being the NRL decision to back the bungler in the Fifita push on Fogarty. There was a similar ruling in the Tigers Sharks game and everyone just accepted the call so now it's changed because of a mistake they didn't want to own. My take on it is if a player runs in front of another player while chasing then decides to slow down and or lean back he is a blocker, he is no longer contesting the ball, he's playing the man. If the player gets his position before the chasers arrive and is standing there then that's fine, he was there first and is entitled to stand his ground without being shoved out the way. [/QUOTE]
