Dominant tackle rule?

Officially? or unofficially?

Dominant tackle is not a new rule in League, been around for years, and many good referees have let it happen for years and is more or less just the process of adding some realism in terms of how long the tackle should go, when the people can play the ball and so on.

All the NRL had done this year is make it enforced by all referees and make the referees call 'dominant' and count to 5.

I believe they are planning to use it, but again it hasn't been confirmed.

The Test series will be refereed under international rules and as far as I`m aware the dominant tackle call is only used in the NRL .We`ll probably hear Mander call dominant in the second Test but don`t expect to hear it in the other two games .
