In the aftermath of the Brookvale battle, one thing that I have found unprecedented has been the focus of attention on the "victim" Greg Inglis.
I can tell you that there is an element in the game who believe that the number of bad situations that the star fullback has found himself in this season is not a coincidence.
They believe that changes made in how the ruck is patrolled has led to a much slower contest putting more emphasis on gaining a quick play the ball.
Their claim is that his size and strength and desire to get to the ground has made it very difficult for a defender to cope with him without grabbing a leg. It then doesn't take much for control to be lost and things to go awry.
It's a somewhat controversial theory but the bottom line is that once a defender puts his arms between the legs of a ball carrier it's not going to end well for anyone.
