What was that rule with parra having his foot out while picking ball up? I know on the full it's out but when it bounces how is it a Parramatta ball.
Yes, if you have a foot planted on the dead ball line or over it and you catch the kickoff on the full it'd be a penalty back on halfway. If your foot is raised and you catch it on the full but then step down onto dead ball line or over it it'd be a drop-out.Out of curiosity, would the ruling be the same if it was the dead ball line and a kick off...
Typical NRL one of the stupidest rules ever brought in, the ball was clearly in the field of play Gutherson goes into touch then touches the ball? whoever thought this was a good idea should never be allowed near a decision ever again!
They did. You can't do it on the dead ball line in the same way.I thought they got rid of that rule ages ago after David Peachey used to do that in the in-goal?
First time ive seen that in a game and ive watched a lot of footy, thought it was a new rule. Im guessing if it is a 40/20 still the same out come ?They did. You can't do it on the dead ball line in the same way.
So on the full:
- sideline: yes
- dead ball line: yes
On a bouncing/rolling ball:
- sideline: yes
- dead ball line: no (used to be yes but got changed ~20 years ago)
So the theory is, if I as a player am out and the ball touches me, then the ball is out too.
I think the only issue is, it must be a moving ball. If the ball stops rolling and then you touch it whilst out, then you've taken it out and it'll be the kicking teams ball.
NoThe foot on the touchline or over has been there for decades stop ypur whinging FFS
Yes it would be ruled as though the ball has found touch. So it would be a 40/20.First time ive seen that in a game and ive watched a lot of footy, thought it was a new rule. Im guessing if it is a 40/20 still the same out come ?
