putting big hits on in the hope of dislodging the ball is fine the attacker should hold onto it , reefing the ball in the tackle is cheating , but as seems to be the opinion on here reaching round usually from an offside position is negative play , and very boring

Full agree on the kicks going dead. It should be an option for a tap on the 20, or where the ball was kicked from.

I also agree we should do something about this tendency to slap at the ball when the play the ball and dummy half is near enough to the try line. A proffesional foul status for this action would be prefferred by me.

While we're at it, we should also change the rules so when the tackler is held up over the line (not on the last), it should be a drop out.
