The cure for this, and it's nothing new, is the one the roundball mob use. Let the touchies look after it. The ref has his hands more than full just trying to police the breakdown. The players who cheat watch the ref all the time. Soon as he looks at them they bluff at taking a step back. Soon as he looks away again they creep. Perhaps 1m behind the last feet is enough just to make a clear gap.
