We do exactly the same on the tackle (holding down), it's a problem that needs sorting across the board.

I can confirm McRae has roots in the wrestling game, and found this piccie to prove it...




Too much time on my hands, obviously...

as the rfl scraped the profesional foul ruling cos we dont seem to see players gettin sent to the sin bin anymre for a profs foul ad there was a couple of times i thought cas held down after we half broke the line and we got the penalty but no sin bin think we need the refs to be reminded about the profs foul ruling and start doing something abowt it

Sorry to reanimate this post - have you seen the postings on VT? Several posts seem to suggest that it is a) an inherent part of the game and b) an area we need to perfect to beat the Aussies.

Sadly this is contrary to my attitudes to the game but the arguments are there. It suggests that Bomber's game plan is what we need.
