the momentum would have stopped when he dropped on it. tackle complete.

Very possibly but not necessarily. The point is he had the time and space to drop on it and potentially avoid a drop out. Instead it looked like he couldn't be arsed and booted it dead.

I don’t agree. He and the Wire chasers were moving at speed an very likely would have continued to the in goal.
However, what I do agree with, is that Shaul, despite his odd moments of glory, isn’t good enough for a SL full back.

No Shaul should have dropped on it. He had space and time to do so.
Anyway so many inexcusable mistakes and poor play and attitude.
I said during the game that the team weren't playing for Lee, even for us that was bad.

Strange how player power both got him and lost him his job

My issue with Shaul is his lack of attacking nounce. We must have the only fullback that breaks attacks down.
