Rugby League is about keeping the game moving, it is what primarily distinguishes us from the other lot, allowing holding down at the ruck needs to be stamped down asap.
Both teams were doing it but I thought Catalan did it more consistently it was as though they were scared stiff of Saints getting in their stride. The game was marred early on by some Catalan forwards not liking those heavy tackles and Ratboy complaining everytime and having a consultation with the officials.
