Not a fan of this Sky Sports News format and also we're 45 minuted into the program and there's been more talk of the NRL than there has the Championship. Neither of which they show. They do however have the rights to one of them....

Decent game so far. Back and forward

noticed a few tackles around the neck from 13 and 15 of the giants, starting to wonder if those kind of tackles, simlilar to grapple tackles are forgotten about these days

What an absolute disgrace of a rule. Throwing the ball at a player laying on the ground. Worst rule they have. That pass went forward so should have been a scrum to Hudds. Hate it!!!!

First time I saw it was last year when Catalan did it twice against us, Widnes, both times they were forward passes.

Looks likes teams are going to exploit this as they can no longer move forward off the mark to pinch yards.

Needs stamping out as soon as possible.

Quickest way to stop this nonsense by dummy halves is to give a penalty to the defending team and sin bin the dummy half.

They'll stop doing it straight away once the first one gets binned.
