[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1092232, member: 73592"] I both agree and disagree. Ref.s need to start pinging Player A for holding the tackled player in, but Player B also has to know that retaliation is always going to get you punished more severely (and rightly so). The trouble is, I don't think there's a law against holding the tackled player in, so we'd need yet another law to ping that, or at least a new ref's directive saying that being held in excuses the tackled from trying to get away - which would be ripe for further abuse. And yes, retaliation should always be penalised more harshly than the original transgression - otherwise you've created a charter for everything to escalated to a full-on 30-man brawl. [/QUOTE]
