Then there is certainly confusion on your guys part. See my last post. Are you seriously ok with the way Billy has jumped there? Like really man?

You guys are arguing it is ok though because otherwise how else would he defend himself from someone rushing in to snap him in half when he hits the turf?

But the striking is inevitable when you have guys trying to tackle the player when they touch the ground or if they want to compete for the ball.

No idea what you're talking about but my very first point (on page 6) was about how it prevents players contesting the ball

No way, that's amazing. I think they're in the senior club we're obviously juniors til u17.
We're new to the club this year as my daughter transferd over from soccer. They made us feel very welcome though. Great club.
Edit: that's West juniors in Sydney.

I'm sorry but did you just ask why Billy Slater doesn't get penalised? Next you will want to know why Cam Smith gets away with everything.

FTR, I think Slater is a grub in defense, and his leading with his foot is NOT ok, neither is leading with the feet on ground.
That said, the argument that any player getting hit steaming in, would be making a legal tackle, is absolute bullshit, because there is no way Slater is back on the ground before being hit, which would make the tackle not only illegal, but very dangerous.
On the other hand, if it's Slater hitting a player, because he jumped forward with his foot up, send him fucking off. (yeah, won't happen)
I would lead with my knee for sure though, and if anyone came close enough to make an acquaintance with it... tough luck, better you than me!

They may however, wish to contest the bomb.

Because he's going to stay, and they wanted to leave it until after the season.

I wouldn't worry. Lockyer's final contract with us wasn't even sort until well into the pre-season
