Diving

[myrrh ken]

Or he notices it too late because he was being held down?

Anyways that wasn't the argument. I'm saying how is it any differerent to the woods hold on Gallen

A bit inconsistent going on this year

Of course its bloody different. They are coming out of a scrum so they were supposed to be in contact with one another. In every scrum the forwards are slow to disentangle. You cannot honestly say watching that video that Harris is trying to disentangle any quicker than Bird was. As it turned out, Bird didn't know what the f**k was going on. Bird was not holding him down.

In the Woods one, he is playing the ball and not supposed to impede, or in fact come in any contact with the marker. Pretty simple.

Actually you're quite wrong my good man

I posted a pic so I'll post it again because you quite clearly have difficulties reading



Gallen has a hold of the ball, Harris is still being held down. He is literally right next to the play he has every chance in the world to make that tackle

Now compare that to Gallen

Ball was just played, Woods has a cheeky grab at him that lasts no longer than a second and dives like the cheat he is. Tigers score even though fatfita was there also in cover and couldn't stop him. But yeah Gal would've covered him easy lol so penalty

All this fuss over a gf, it's on record . . . let it be

 

[myrrh ken]

You are getting sucked in from the perspective of the photo mate. Gallen is popping up from lock and he runs diagonally away from the scrum. Harris is miles away.

Did you actually watch the vid? It helpfully starts right on the try.

Coincidentally, I don't care for the 73, 78 and 97 gfs.

Ha
That pic ???

It's called a scrum for f**k sake.

'Grand' aligns itself with 'Immortal'

I was using it as an example

But he is heavily disadvantaged

How many times have we seen players obstructed / taken off the ball with what you'd think have no hope of getting to the ball player , yet received a penalty

Hint: it's a lot

Section 12
Page 29
To form a scrum not more than three forwards of either team shall interlock arms and heads and create a clear tunnel at right angles to the touch line.

Look it's a slippery slope and I'm not sure what the answer is. You'll never know whether the slightest impediment or obstruction will affect the tackler. My view is that the attacking team should not be allowed to impede a defending team at all and the onus is on them not to do so.

Obviously diving is not great. I understand why players would dive so as to get the ref's attention but its not a good look. Gal's acting is better than DCE's who took a step forward before falling over. But I don't know that it was completely simulated or just a heavily exaggerated reaction. Gal otherwise had plenty of time to complete the defensive line.

Maybe refs/bunker should have a green light to disregard any simulation - although that is difficult to police.

You are dead wrong about the scrum so you best give up as its a bit embarrassing.

Ok but

If Harris was to take a dive there and then

Would it have been a penalty?

He was definitely held a little longer after the scrum was disengaged as proven once again by gal taking the ball from lock and having enough time to run

I know what a scrum is lol thanks for pointing it out

I don't think you do

You're comparing "a scrum" , where the players are told to hold each
To a "play the ball" where they are told not to hold each other.

By the time anyone in that scrum knew the f**k was going on Barba already was waving to me in the crowd.

If Harris stopped holding onto Bird, I guess he could've dived.

Maybe if you're lucky enough he could show you a thing or two
