So you can only do what Sharp did when the balls on the full ? could have sworn i'd seen super league games this season where they've done what Sharp did and got away with it.

I think that above is the old rules. A drop out was given yesterday because the ball had stopped moving, Sharp's argument was that it had not. If it hadn't then it would have been given as a 20 metre restart.

Finally got to log in being a few thousand miles away on hols. End of the season rot has set in. Before the 8's we've seen it happen many times it's just that this year it's affecting more games. I could never understand any player going out and seemingly just go through the motions. I have played in teams that have won league titles and for teams that have been relegated, it made no difference to me personally, I wanted to win or at least be able to look myself in the mirror knowing the white flag never went up. Maybe it's the uncertainty for some of the players who are being released of not knowing if they will have a club next year but it won't help their cause not to to give it their best shot.

That's a bloody good spot by you if that was the case.It would tie in with the interpretations i've seen.

That's what I thought as well. I am sure Jonno did the same thing the other week, put is foot over the dead ball line before he collected the ball after it had bounced and we got the 20m re-start - but it was still moving. I guessed if it was because the ball had stopped so effectively Sharp just grounded it in play?

Hmmm, it's in the current RFL rules...

If the rule really did change again (since 2012) then it's not surprising that no-one knows the correct interpretation!

Think i'm going to cut Will a bit of slack on this one now

If in doubt, pick the ball up and run! Lesson for Salty - if you have 2 defenders waiting for you 2 yards from the line, you need to bend your back and drive downwards into the tackle - no way of getting pushed back over the line then!
