There was a similar incident in the same quarter with the same two players which also wasn't paid. Butler gave him a serve that time as well. I think it was a different umpire.

Interesting discussion on HTB.
What do peoples think about this one?
If we have it deep in our F50 why tackle, hold on then create a stoppage? Why not tackle to ground, release the tackle and force the defender to make a play. If the defender doesn't get rid of the footy in a second then tackle again and get the HTB.
I'd argue the percentages of a turnover is in the catch then release rather than a stoppage that is a defence outnumber and clearance to 60m out.
