[QUOTE="Jimbo, post: 1165556, member: 77204"] Where did I say it was deliberate? , I said if it isn’t punished it could create a situation where players do, do it intentionally, we are then asking refs to determine what is and isn’t deliberate, even more room for inconsistencies. Crowding space? he had his legs at almost a 90 degree angle vs his body, no real need for that and the fact that the game has numerous high balls every game and this isn’t a constant talking point tells you as much, what do you expect would be tacklers to do give enough ‘landing space room’ plus the distance of the air bourne players full leg extension? As I originally said I think it’s harsh and less than ideal for it to be reffed this way BUT it’s better than any alternatives I can think of, calling it a rugby incident for me is a no go for the reasons already stated.
