Just seeing the goals again on ssn. After we equalised, Forde tried to hold the ball, but Ulloa and someone else wrestled the ball off him and took it back up to the half way line. Forde looked like they just spat at his mother. It wasn't a particularl violent wrestle, but it happens so often that payer tryin to delay kick off, then tries to get into a ruck as if grabbing the ball from them is the worst crime ever. Why? They know what they are trying to do and what their opponents are trying to do. Seems pointless.
Also, why bother? So what if we've got the ball back on the centre spot, will still have to wait for all our players to get back in our half (and preferably into position), and we have to wait for them to be ready to take kick off any way, so they will still delay the re-start. The difference in time wasted is very minimal.
Another thing, why were their defenders so upset when we were awarded a corner, we didn't really threaten with them, so it wasn't anything for them to worry about.
