Take a look at this ruck from the Kings v Dragons game on 4th March 2018.
(~ Apologies as I cannot test if video link works outside UK )

Scroll to 1min 52 secs of the video.
You will see a ruck where the ball at the back, about to be played by the Dragons 9.
The ball is actually on the back of the Dragons ankle(so off the ground technically).
Kings' no. 8 counter rucks someone out of the ruck then comes through and takes the 9 ( who has still not played the ball, as far as I can tell )
Would you have allowed this or awarded penalty for playing the 9 ( who has not yet played the ball )
Just looks wrong to me.
Cheers
