Instead of moaning about the bugs in the game, just work around them. Sure you shouldn't have to, but its not that hard. Dive straight over the line (that isn't that big a deal), get better at scramble defense (it does take some getting used to), and when the computer kicks out to regain possession, just do the same back to it.
I wouldn't let things like this turn me off the game, sure they can be annoying, but just work around them and enjoy it nonetheless, its certainly better than beta quality, its got a lot of problems, but I've played things that were just an absolute mess at release, and this does what it intends to, be a fun, playable rugby league game.
