I just don’t get why penalties are given when one scrum just demolished another, that just penalising someone for not being strong enough, they can’t change that
Problem there is that the Landers prop lost their bind because of the pressure. That should be (and is) penalty.

Frizell again with good low body position and leg drive.

Fainganuku gets up and goes again without releasing after being brought down in a tackle. Guess we're just going back to how it was then eh.
He wasn't tackled
Oh he fell over. Under the force of someone else, from the opposition. Went to ground in a non tackle. Ok then...
He wasn't near being held. He doesn't have to release.
Ok interested to see how that stacks up against the laws and current focus...
-
@Bones but he didnt still have contact when he went to ground, hence why he was allowed to get up
Tackler can bring him down, when they are still in contact, both tackler and tacklee have a responsibility to let go and place ball (respectively) but if you manage to bring someone down but lose contact with them, then they are allowed to get up

Funny how he looked up and saw Mounga... decision made, I'm going straight.
-
@taniwharugby yep I understand that, but for mine when he hit the ground he was still in contact with the tackler.
-
Can we please keep it with our forward, they are next level compared to our backs
-
ball touched the grass?
-
Poor attempt by Ala'alatoa
-
@Bones well thats fair enough, all comes down to those micro moments of how the ref sees it..

Under the laws of course...I just don’t think it should be a rule, he hadn’t done something reckless or against the rules to get an advantage, he’s folded under pressure...that doesn’t feel like something you should loose points for

Yeah however that's why I thought they announced these new focuses - take that out of it. Sure if a player falls over, let them get up. If a player is brought to ground by the actions of the oppo...play the ball.
-
@Kiwiwomble yeah is a tough one really, because ultimately a dominant team/pack should be rewarded for thier dominance, but not sure it should be braodly applied

I thought the front on replay showed he wasnt close to being held.

Yep once he got through that first tackle, it was only backs to take on.
