**Live game thread* WT vs Eels

Imagine logically blaming brooks for air swinging the ball after sprinting to the opposite side of the field because their shorty defence led to a line break .
All he could do was try and kick the ball. He had no chance other than that
How about your boy handing it over on play two whilst a man down? Brooks is pathetic
 
Are you guys serious ? How is brooks at fault in anyway there ? The whole wide shot was jus thin being the only tigers player from the right side of the picture to sprint to be in position to even have an air swing .
I’ll say it again , Hastings one on one defence is absolute dogshit !
He’s 97kg and hits like a wet sponge .
 
Why is the ref calling infringements for defenders completing tackles?

If a player tries to play the ball without being stopped, the tackler is within his rights to keep tackling until the attacker is stopped.

If an attacker isn't stopped, he is able to keep running, NOT play the ball. Try playing the ball without being tackled and you get penalised. If a tackle doesn't stop you, you can keep running but that's it.

The game is a farce if that rule is ambiguous or applied ambiguously. You're either tackled or you're not.
