Good. It was a joke yesterday and I was disappointed that we resorted to such tactics.

[Mysterio]

Shentons gamesmanship truly was clumsily cringeworthy ; but that's good, it shows we can't cheat properly even if we try

TheRL should be applauded for this proactive (ish!!!) move (I said ish!)

More clarity still needed on obstruction / outside shoulder for me

Sky should have a section dedicated to explaining the differences in all contentious rules

I recon Shenton only did it cos catalan are forever getting penalties that way so played them at there own game

Let's see if it's enforced? Could of brought rule in about playing ball with the foot like we're taught at grassroots while they were at it.

You could actually see Shenny hated doing it, he was filthy on himself (as they say in Aus), the guy is a genuine good guy, he probably went to church to ask for forgiveness when he got back from France!! He did it to help the team and Catalan did it 3 times in the game!!

Other teams do it, at hudds, Leeming did it twice and it might have been the difference between a win and a loss. Like with the Wigan wrestle and cannonball tackle, you have to adapt and use the rules to your advantage.

Maybe I'm being cynical here but how long has this been happening? And the first time cas do it the rules are changed because we cheated. Now I do agree it needed to happen but it's just strange to me that it's allowed to happen for so long but now cas have done it needs changing.

changed because Powell high lighted issue

I like the changes but how much is too fast for a play of the ball?

Why Is a team being disadvantaged when they have a player left in the ruck, like adz is during times in the match.

Still some grey areas where refs can pick and choose who to penalise.
