It may be harsh but maybe the umpires need to even stronger in the HTB determination. So often players aren’t disposing the ball because they don’t like the option (or there are none) so they allow themselves to be tackled and it’s a ball up. These instances are split second stuff, not blatant but IMO they’re there.
IM sure we do it sometimes, but most teams do it continually against us. They know we want the play in motion, but arent strong at clearances.
So often the player will just fall into the tackle and make sure they are wrapped up. they make no attempt to get rid of it, but are never pinged. we often try to keep the ball in play, then get a free against for incorrect disposal, or holding the ball.
the only thing that stopped the umpired from being very aggravating, was the fact we were so bad that it didnt matter.
