Quote ="oli30045"I was wondering that too, because it gave Leeds an advantage. They were given another set from the scrum, so essentially had 9/10 tackles straight. If we are held can we just throw it out and be gifted 6 more tackles?'"
On commentary, Eddie and Stevo said that the rule has been changed this year. It used to be a penalty to the defence, but a scrum to the attacking team is now awarded. This seemed really unfair, particularly on the fourth as we had to defend almost a full extra set of six through no fault of our own.
