[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 1048051, member: 50079"] So essentially I'd imagine if you're the latch on a carry you can't just go off your feet with the ball carrier and kill the ball. If you're going to be involved at the ruck you have to keep your feet and come through the gate like anyone else. You'll pretty regularly see the latch fly over the tackle and prevent the other team from competing. The pre-bound pods thing I think was already something refs were asked to focus on when it came to tap penalties/free kicks. Player has to reach contact before the latch comes in. The dropping weight thing just makes sense. Some horror injuries happen that way. Would also love to see the end of missile tackles into guys legs that happen a dozen times in any game. The drop out I think is stupid. Punishes the attacking team for trying to build a score and rewards the defending team way too easily. Particularly when grounding isn't always clear for the ref (see the idiotic no-try against the God King Coombes), places such a burden on the ball carrier to avoid any carry on the line that isn't a sure thing.
