[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 385229, member: 20605"] I'll be very surprised if he is cited, unless the Citing Officer saw something we didn't. [B]A citing can ONLY be for a Red Card offence[/B], and I don't think that was a red card offence.. It is not so much favouring the attacking team as it is simply making turnovers more difficult. Elite referees are told to manage the breakdown in the following order 1. The tackler releases the tackle player and rolls away 2. The tackler places, passes or pushes the ball and rolls away if possible If you have both a tackled player not releasing and a tackler not releasing at the same time, the TACKLER is penalised first. As we discovered in 2009, if turnovers at the tackle are made too easy to get, then coaches will tell players not to take the ball into contact. Instead they kick it down field, and the result is Aerial ping-pong, and we do not want to go back to that. Its all about getting the balance right. Remember that if the "Jackler" gets the ball in his hands before a ruck is formed, he does not have to let go when the ruck is called. The call of "no hands" does not apply to him, it applies only to all other players at the ruck. NOTE: For those unfamiliar with term "Jackler", it is a generic term to describe the first person to play the ball legally after a tackle. This is usually a tackler who has gotten to his feet, but it can be the first arriving player as well. [/QUOTE]
