I know this seems to have been discussed to death, but I'm wondering what others opinions are, and how do you manage it? During my pre match brief I remind players that they need to stay on their feet at the breakdown and I also tell them what MY opinion of that is. i.e not being in an inverted V position with elbows/forearms on ground/tackled player, not having knees on ground or laying down.
My problem is that I constantly seem to be blowing up for not staying on feet. Am I being over zealous in my management of this area? I have seen how other refs in my society deal with this and it seems as though I am in the minority, I am due to be assesed again next week, and I dont want it to be an issue.
