Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3020842, member: 1899"] The player is tackled or held when they cannot make anymore progress or part with the football. The referees will provide leeway if there is momentum in the tackle. However, if the player is lifted off the ground, the players must immediately release him. The rule came in around 2006 when Daniel Fitzhenry suffered a serious injury against the Warriors I believe. It saved Queensland in the decider when Wesser was carried into the in-goal and lost the ball in the process. That's the biggest blight on the game and has been for decades. In a game where ruck speed is so crucial, it amazes me that this isn't a bigger deal. [/QUOTE]
