They may have changed the interpretation of throwing yourself to the floor for a quick ptb, or not get chucked into touch, but as mentioned above, an actual voluntary tackle was playing the ball.

Was it Deacon who moved out of the way as the tackle was about to be made resulting in Joynt falling to the ground?

Aussie full backs have been doing it for years diving out of the in goal area into the field of play. Slater was a master of it. It's a 'skill' our FB's never mastered.

It was never worded that way though until they brought in the actual surrender tackle.

He dives to the ground thinking they would touch him (as Aussie fullbacks do mentioned above) but once he realises what he's done when the Bradford defenders sensibly don't touch him, he gets up and tries to make contact to complete the tackle. He even rolls over FFS. It was a voluntary tackle all day long under the rules at the time and Smith bottled it.

hmmm, i dont know, i said it wasn't at the time because this was my understanding.
