[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 91708"] Technically speaking, killing the ball is cheating. Hence why penalties are given out if the offender is caught, followed by cards for persistent infringing. However, doing this in order to gain an advantage is part of the game. I will quite happily go spare at a referee for not punishing these kind of tactics when they go unnoticed against my team, but recognise that's what a flanker's job is. I class this kind of cheating, which doesn't harm anyone, in a totally different way to dirty play such as stamping, punching etc. Trying to get hands on opposition ball has a place in the game, foul play doesn't.
