1. this one was just freakish. Player is tackled, both players go to ground and tackler releases. As tackler gets to feet to jackle he grabs tackled player's ankle and just kind of lifts his leg. In so doing, he brings tackled player back to his feet, ball and all. Tackled player, now back on feet, passes ball. Just looked weird.
2. this happened a couple of times and players got away with it. Tackle assist, on 'wrong' side of tackle, releases tackled player and just ... stands there - not going for ball and not retiring. Stands there, taking up space, so that tackled player's team mate is delayed getting to the ball. Worked a treat. Remember, this is all split second stuff in 7s. Is it illegal?
