Good thread this. I don't see why the kicking side should get another set of six because they are the ones who have not set themselves up into a position of space and time to get a good kick away. The defensive side have worked hard and are then punished for the charge down with a reset of the tackle count.

Heard this subject discussed (briefly) on RL Extra a couple of weeks ago. The conclusion from a couple of players along with Stuart Cummins was that the tackle count shouldn't be restarted. Apparently it has been raised as a possible rule change for next year. Despite one in every four or five (at best) of our charge-down attempts not coming off, we still persist with it. It's a demonstration that we are prepared to accept the consequences and back it up with working harder for each other. Still frustrating though as the tactic rarely pays off.

Change the rule. We are a handling game not a kicking game and chargedowns should not be seen as a low percentage play.
