Injured players in the ruck

[happy_tiger]

Is it just me , but does there seem to be a lot of injured players in the ruck again since the game has sped up more

I can remember at least 4 times in the Tigers game that the Warriors had players laying in the ruck close to the line

Should the referees be focussing on this

I thought the Warriors were deliberately using the tactic of the last man off the tackle positioning himself behind the ruck to get in the way of our attack. Be it laying on the ground or standing.

Yep - I noticed that too… A definite ploy from Warriors to negate Farah out of dummy half

That's exactly what was happening! Each time the marker who is in the right position stays in the same spot, so the ref calls play on, but the rest of the defence has already moved up a few metres by the time Robbie gets his hand on the ball. The refs should have given the warriors a warning about it and then penalized if it continued.

The poor bloke who broke his jaw from the warriors was nearly in a much worse situation. He stayed down behind the play the ball and richards was nearly tackled on top of him (we lost a tackle because he was in the way and richards couldn't do anything)The ref didn't stop play initially because soo many warriors players had been doing it all night. He was not to know that this time there was actually an injury and play needed to be stopped…
