North vs South

Not clear and obvious he wasn't back 10. That should be a try.

No need to panic. I think the North will up the tempo when Nugget comes on.
He can't come on soon enough because TJ has stunk the place up tonight
To be fair to TJP, he made a try - although he should look better; he's only marking Webber.

Has Savea done anything all night?
Put a Blues player on in his place.

@antipodean yes it does. That what the law defines a maul
-
@antipodean One good tackle, a lot of penalties, slow off the scrum.

That's how it becomes a maul.
A maul ends and play continues when:
- The ball or ball-carrier leaves the maul.
- The ball is on the ground.
- The ball is on or over the goal line.

So you answered your own question. The ball carrier left the maul. Hence those in front of him was offside
He was still bound to other players from the maul, so the maul continues.

The ball carrier and those bound to him ...therefore still a maul
-
@antipodean clearly other players have to include opposition. The definition of a maul can't change midway through a maul

Correct. Taylor did not peel off on his own, they changed their point of impact.

I'm not arguing with you, I'm telling you.
When players of the team who are not in possession of the ball intentionally leave the maul such that there are no players of that team left in the maul, the maul continues.

Opposition is only needed to start one, there would be countless examples where one has driven straight through the middle of the opposition...they don’t just stop
