Hello everyone. Long time lurker here who finally came up with something interesting to post.
Playing in a game today, red v purple.
Purple get penalty for tackler not releasing. Purple 9 takes quick tap but not from the mark. Red 1 puts in massive, but otherwise legal hit on him, were it not for the fact he only retreated about 3 yards
Leads to a bit of a scuffle, no punches thrown or anything like that, but made a previously good tempered match a bit more heated.
FYI the ref in the game told both sides to calm down and then simply told purple to retake it from the right place.
IMO if it had been taken properly it was a definite yellow, but as it hadn't been I wonder what should have happened.
What's everyone's take?
Cheers
