[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 307404"] I think those two situations you highlighted there Logorrhea caused alot of confusion. Both times, the player jackling the ball had released the player (Shane and Wallace), but it was the other tackler who hadn't released the player. I understand the new rule, but when a player finds himself as isolated as the two above, surely then the defending team has gotta get the benefit of a doubt. Imo, they were perfectly legitimate turnovers, and the penalty should have been given the other way. It's the same kinda thing as what happened 18 months ago when ref's were told to watch for players going off their feet. For a while ref's were penalising players left, right and centre, over enforcing the rule, but it calmed down eventually. I can see the same thing happen here, ref's will soon calm down a little.
