But why? Anywhere else on the field diving on a loose ball is okay, yet in the play the ball it’s not. Just rewarding teams for being disorganised.

I think it's a classic NRL overcorrection to keep the ruck clean and stop people trying to dive all over it at all times...

It's a dumb rule but it's the rule. I reckon if the acting half isn't there it should be fair game.

I also don't understand the furore over the no try.

Like, it's an old fashioned shepherd. Can't run behind your own player. I don't always like it but we've seen what happens when you give NRL refs "discretion"....and it's a very old rule.

I have no problem with it to be honest. To’a would probably admit he was slow getting across to that play.

I mean the Tigers discipline has been awful so far today. Sorry.

You can't infringe a dozen times in a half and not expect a repeat infringement penalty. But it was a soft one for the actual incident, sure.

These scrum penalties shouldnt apply if the attacking lock breaks early then defense should be able to move up. It's being held in second row but the lock is out of scrum.

Haha how does Tuilagi have leaves stuck in his hair in the middle of an NRL ground?
