That whole area around the ruck is so vague as shit. Ref called held, player tried to get up and play the ball. Pen for getting up too quickly and making an error with defenders still on his back.
This State of Origin period really makes a bit of a farce of the competition doesn't it? I mean the dogs up against Souths without Cook, Walker and co. I'll take our win against the Eels but missing all the players they had out (thanks Freddie, love your support for us) does make it a bit hollower.
