Short answer

NO

Anyway back to the Rapana incident, rugba leeg being rugba leeg with calling it a stupid penalty. The outcome of that not being a penalty (although I’m not sure if Atkins blew whistle soon as it happened), is it’s ruled a knock on by Rapana, who is has claret pouring from his head and off in la la land even more than usual, and absolute hero Spurt Gapewell dogs a try with Rapana dying on the field. Accidental or not, that’s not the deserved outcome

I dont think they are better without him .... if he plays full games at something near his ability, they are better off .... they are playing the warriors at newcastle. Warriors are always hit n miss

Dropped. Once Cotric amd Savage are back I think he will be again

I think if they are gonna persist with the dumb stripping rule, they need to give the defenders a little leeway when they strip it as the ref calls held .... they have decided to let attackers pass after calling held and just bring it back, but they are dynamite if you steal it a millisecond after a held call

The flip side of this is the strip is being used as part of the wrestle, all the way to the ground, it's f**king ugly AFAIC.

Yeah this pisses me off. A player gets his arms around the ball and is allowed to hold on longer than he normally would be allowed to because he was trying to strip the ball.
So many times I have seen where there should have been a penalty blown, or at least a set restart, because of this.

Yep exactly, to me it looks pretty obvious that it's being used to slow the play down, surely refs can see this also.

The whole thing needs review, loose carry sure you deserve to lose possession, but this whole idea of repeated efforts within the same tackle needs to go.
