[QUOTE="BobbyM, post: 951145, member: 73737"] The point is though where does one draw the line? Do we really cite all scrum halves for feeding the ball squint? Or every hooker who takes a step before a lineout? Or players “accidentally” blocking a kick chaser? Or players pretending to be on their feet when actually they’re leaning against a player on the ground? Or a player holding on to the ball a little longer than allowed? While I appreciate the sentiment, I don’t think we do the game any benefit by refereeing it afterwards with a tv camera with all the angles. If players get caught in the act then fair enough reverse the penalty or give the opposition a free kick or reverse the input to the scrum or whatnot. However, to retrospectively go through all activities in the game to assess whether they were within the rules of the game or not is completely overkill in my view. [/QUOTE]
