That's the way it's been ruled all year.
If you don't make the intercept in that position you're in trouble.
I don't necessarily agree with how it's being ruled, but we lost a man to the bin for the same thing in an earlier game, so swings and roundabouts for me.

These Ta$man guys are determined to raise my blood pressure this season.
What should have been a comfortable win gets turned into a nail-biter by some idiocy from Alex Ainley and some clumsiness by Aumua.
Still - would have been an injustice if we didn't get the points from that. Onward and upward.
