And this is what is killing the game.

Whilst holding down in the tackle has improved a bit this season, it still clearly goes on and is coached in. It is a major detriment to the appeal of the sport and some referees allow more than others.

It would be far more appealing to rid our game of this and allow attacking sides to be able to run at imperfect defensive lines with the chance that we may see more line breaks and flair.

Totally agree. Quick ball has always been King.

Imo best tackle this season was nowhere close to a chest ball wrap.

It was against Williams when he was near chopped in 2.
1 on 1, and it quietened him down for what was left in the game, and not even the slightest attempt to make an offload during the tackle.

Fair point but was hardly a tackle round the legs which is what you were advocating on the previous page.
