    I don't understand why they are allowed to do this:

    If both rucks engage in body on body then I think it's considered play on, though if one impedes the other's attempt to jump at the ball then it is a free kick against.

    The latter includes blocking a path to the ball by taking the other rucks run without intention to contest the ball itself. I think Gawn was roughly done by because he took the path of his ruck opponent but at the same time had eyes for the ball and intent to actually contest it.

    Anyway, that's how I thought the ruck rules were adjudicated. I could be well wrong.

    Dunkley had quite a few moments - and *the* tackle will stand out - but there was a moment in the 3rd where Lipinski pulls one inwards on his left and it put serious heat on Dunks, but he wore the treatment while protecting the ball overhead.

    I just thought in the moment that was tough and said to everyone we're playing for keeps. He was immense yesterday.

    Agree with the OP - Fritsch missing was huge for our heart rate.

    Love hearing this kids dedication , his elite in his training

    When your body is fatigued , then all things done is based on instinct and what is natural . He knows how to hone his skills when his tired and has condience to execute

    Does he still do this, or is he not allowed to any more? If he is still doing it, why don't they all do it?

    Bont did the same thing earlier in the game.

    There were a few moments but Dunkey's tackle, Bont's tackle were up there.

    I actually have to add one not yet mentioned - Sam Lloyd's first goal. Very smart to somehow keep the ball live from the wrong side of the goal post then sneak around to put it through.

    Bont's got a few more credits in the bank than Bailey "dropped for the prelim" Fritsch I would've thought.
