Quote ="Sherbert Dip"I prefer the NRL version. Refs should ref and not bark out instructions to the players at every tackle.
Remove this from the game and we may get rid of the annoying act of holding down while looking back at the ref waiting for the call to release.
If this were the rule, Wigan's game strategy would be fooked

I prefer the NRL version it was the way the game was played I first started watch some forty years ago, the players took the responsibilty to release and allow the play the ball
You cant fault Wigan for exploiting the rule though, but not too sure most Super League fans would watch games that were dominated by defences , even though some of the best games this year have been that eg. Leedsv Wigan (at headingley in the CC)
