      It's absolutely farcical that an incident is deamed worthy enough to be put on report but we recieve no penalty or advantage whatsoever.

      At 6-0 or 6 all, whatever it was at the time, that should have been us on the attack from about 20 metres out from their line. If we score there the dynamic of the game is completely different. Mind you, we would have had to score on the first tackle because that's all we could hold the pill for.

        Not sure how you get the Teo one as fine.

        SBW taken out when not in possession of the ball.

        Last time I checked the rules (about 10 mins ago) it is still a penalty for tackling a player not in possession.

        Shoulder charge? No arms used but it doesn't matter.

        And I hear Sterling in the box crapping on about how a player was "tackled on suspicion". If he doesn't have the ball then he should change his phrase to "tackled illegally" because that is what it is.

        Whether any of that changes the result last night is impossible to say but the coach is right. If they are going to police the shoulder charge they need to get them all.
