Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2960386, member: 8215"] I do love it and hope it sticks. I don't know if it's still the same, but it was reported a few years ago that when the ref calls "held", the defensive team are allowed one more movement. Usually to throw the player to the ground, give them a shove to allow the markers to get back square, etc. It was bullshit at the time and if it's still the norm, it's bullshit now. The moment "held" is called, the defence must make every effort to get off immediately. No more shoves, trips, everyone falling in a heap and then peeling off one-by-one, or the tackler lying on the runner, like a beached whale, looking at the ref to see how long he can stay there. If the tackled player isn't allowed to stand up immediately and play it unencumbered, penalty. [/QUOTE]
