You know what to do, triple jump guy.
Imagine a triple jumping winger.
Well, Larry the Lamb, the old Tian Welton who won the NPC mascot sprint.
So I think that's the whole thing is that they need to work out
when or where you're allowed to tackle.
One of the worst yellow cards I've ever seen was in the Lions series when their prop, Kyle Sinclair,
leapt, he jumped to catch a ball and was tackled while he was jumping, like just in the middle of the field.
And he jumped and they went, no, that's the yellow card.
It's like, how can you determine whether someone's going to go Super Mario on you?
So someone's just about to tackle you and you just leave your feet?
Yeah, you leave your feet.
But that's also a reason why when you're passing wide, that used to be called a hospital pass, but if you pass wide and the winger jumps...
then it sort of gives them immunity in the sense that they can't be tackled.
But I think diving for the tri-line, I think you are allowed to make an attempt to tackle.
