2020 R10 Sat - Rabbitohs 18-20 Knights @ Bankwest

Like what I can't believe is people are whinging about the scrum at the end when complaining about officiating but are fine with the 10-12 forward passes that were missed

Such is the state of the game, we’ve become accustomed to forward passes now. You see almost as many as you see in a union game.

f**k you’re a bore.

Bit rough. You’re not really quality entertainment either.

Lucky to get the win in the last 15, but stoked we did. Top 4 is still a distant reality right now but honestly half way through the comp stoked were even in mix. A long cry losing from losing 80% of games at home and still attending pre-empting a loss. May sound negative but just stoked we’re competing in most games. Credit to bunnies though, didn’t give up.

Involuntary tackle?

My bad voluntary tackle. I must be dyslexic.

There used to be a penalty for voluntary tackle ... hold on there still is. Atkins is just a cheat.

I don't think people quite know what voluntary tackle is.

Voluntary tackle isn't about falling to the ground or staying on the ground with no one touching you. That has been around since 1908.

The voluntary part is playing the ball. Playing the ball when before a tackle is complete, or before a ref calls hold, immediately puts everyone off side. By 'voluntary' playing the ball before the tackle is completed you've given your team an unfair advantage.

Thats why it's not a voluntary tackle just for chucking yourself at the ground. In that case fullbacks and wingers diving for the infield from in goal would always be penalised. Or wingers close to the sideline. Props who are doing settlers close to the line and are almost flopping to get that fast play the ball would be the same.

Voluntary tackles is around the play the ball and 'completing the tackle' unfairly, not about playing dead in tackles or staying on the ground

Nope.
11.4 of the laws of the game

A player in possession shall not deliberately and unnecessarily allow himself to be tackled by voluntarily falling to the ground when not held by an opponent. If a player drops on a loose ball he shall not remain on the ground waiting to be tackled if he has time to regain his feet and continue play.
