Umpiring - ask the question Richo

[barneyboyz]

Players dilemma: coming from behind at speed: tackle and risk falling forward with the tackled player's momentum or sweat off and hope. I saw Clark and Webster do excellent desperate defensive acts that were rightly penalised but thought: great endeavour/pressure and the tackled player will remember that; it was a practice game so technique can be refined before the real stuff but endeavour can't be turned on and off. Sometimes conceding a free can be the best option and an investment in future perceived pressure.
