hello
is there any particular reason why repeatedly being penalized for holding on and preventing a turnover is not treated the same as other penalties? it seems to me that any other penalties result in cards/warnings etc but holding on at the breakdown always just concedes the penalty, i understand the reasoning for this currently (to win kicks at goal/touch etc) but was there a point where it was just like other penalties. for example teams had to place the ball and leave it, if they kept getting penalized for holding on then they were sent to the bin etc.
if this has never been a thing would you prefer this rule to come into place? it would surely open up more attacking opportunities as once a turnover was created the team could immediately attack. it rarely happens these days as once someone has jackled their opponent they just hold on and concede the penalty.
hope someone can help ^_^
