It's bad enough that the the players stop playing football to drop their dacks, bend over and let the opposition bugger them, but to get arse raped by the maggots as well.........
Most of us would have been taught to roll the player with the ball as you tackle them, but this is no longer necessary.
Not only is it now permissible to drive the player into the ground from behind when tackling, you are more likely to get a holding the ball decision if the ball is pinned under them.
The rules for holding the ball are quite clear, and simple really, yet no one has any real idea of what decision the umpire will make when they blow the whistle, except it probably wont be what it should. One thing for sure though, you are better off to be the tackler rather than the bloke playing the ball. (except for a select few of the protected species), which is not how the game should be played.
