however as Burrow had not started to regain his feet when initial contact was made the tackle complete as soon as Tompkins touched him - hence when he then dragged him a penalty was the only outcome

contrast that with the decision that went against Wigan where Leeds deliberately wait till the Wigan player starts to get up and then complete the tackle taking him into touch - both decisions were correct and the rules are fine in my opinion.

you also have to consider that Gleeson lead with the ball carrying arm and was trying to free his arm to potentially offload - the ball carrier still has an obligation to retain possession and the defenders have the right to prevent the offload.

That was so funny, I'm still splitting my sides

I agree. But that is different to the scenario that Saddo has dreamt up.

Amen to that. Next season they should start the season by carding anyone other than the captain who talks to the ref. That and charging players for diving.

I'd go for that. Hate him or hate him, Ganson wouldn't put up with responses to refs the last few weeks..... James Graham in particular
