wiggn2: Also before Hull scored - Kendall made up a knock-on against Smith when the Hull player just dropped it and then Wardle was picked up off the ground and put into touch. Basically gave them the game.
What, like a tactic Wigan do, every single game , off the ground at times too? One rule for one eh But what I will say, I absolutely despise the tactic from anyone, it's so negative and anti RL. Not entertaining or skillful in the slightest
IMO the tactic is fair enough, but doesn't the ball-carrier need to have feet on the ground? My understanding was, that if a player is lifted so that his feet are off the ground, the ref needs to call Held immediately. So as long as that rule is fairly applied, I don't have a problem with it.
I also thought the rule was that held was called as soon as a teammate of the attacker joined the tackle, but I haven't seen that called all year
