    Not sure about some of these ruck penalties. I'd like to see more of a genuine "not releasing" as opposed to a defending player touched the ball.

    A symptom of trying to speed up the game and split second calls I guess. The flip side would probably be the lethargic nature of NH interpretation.

    @antipodean went through a patch a few years back where players would often win a penalty just by being in a strong position over the ball, not even really trying to win it

                  Feel like Sotutu needed to try to get that as a held up. Brilliant effort to stop him, but if he could have held him up it would be a drop-out

                    He's showing more of his 7s talent closer to the play rather than the wing.

                          Poor Tom Robinson. Frizell was no where near making a legal tackle there.

                                  Locks should know their hands are too far from their brains to attempt a quick pick and go.

                                        That is fucking pedantic. It's just a stray boot.

                                          Smith right on the money there. Sotutu gives away a stupid penalty and card.
