I can think of an example Hull KR Saints, Wellens in a similar situation to Webb, result no try, if sky sports still has that refs blog thing from last few years you will find it there

That's what I thought. Normally any new rule interpretations are well documented at the beginning of the season.

That's correct.

Not even once.

It probably won't stop certain posters implying it happens at every turnover in every game, even though (apart from the isolated instance they saw with Webb on Friday) they can't recall any other actual examples.

If it makes you feel better, Saints lost the Championship in 1993, when Wigan were virtually untouchable, due to this rule. Good Friday, ironically, at Central Park, Allan Hunte stood in front of the ptb and we were penalised. Botica, as usual, kicked the goal and it was an 8 8 draw. Saints had scored two tries to Wigans one and only lost the title on points difference. Hunte, unlike Webb, hadnt got involved in play. Awful day for a Saints fan even though a draw at Wigan was some achievement in those days we knew we had to win. Our coach thet day was Mike MacLennan, so it may be a family curse

But didn't you hear 'little Wobbie' on the Super League Show, it's a new rule for this season.
