"As you travel through life don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things" - George Carlin [url:2cg5oc2o]http://twitter.com/AndyGilder[/url:2cg5oc2o] [url:2cg5oc2o]http://fromthewesternterrace.blogspot.co.uk[/url:2cg5oc2o] This week: Four keys to a Rhinos win in the WCC:Transparent Backgrounds/Waldorf.gif



IIRC the laws of the game state that the attacking player must always give right of way to the defender - it's his responsibility to get out of the way and time his run to ensure that he doesn't prevent the defender from being involved in the play.

It's something that Wigan do very, very well and doesn't always get picked up. No video ref at that game and it would have been given as a try all day long.

Spot on Fieldheadrhino, the player dropped his shoulder into JJB therefore illegally taken out, Penalty defence. I personaly think its stupid but then it is either a rule or not and where do you draw the line?

Quote: Fieldheadrhino "JJB was taken out illegally, therefore regardless of wether he would have made the tackle or not (My veiw is he would have got no where near) the video ref made the correct call as a foul had been committed.'"


Problem is if you walk that line, you may as well forget about dummy runs or decoy splits etc, as mostly when these occur contact is made by the defender and the none ball carrying runner. What game are we going to be left with.

Whether JJB was taken out, having 2 minutes on the floor, getting a hand-job, it's all moot, as he had would have had zero involvement in the scoring/stopping of that try. And I know he can shift, but his middle-name is not Bolt.

Really?

How often do you see that kind of penalty given in a game? Now think about how often teams use dummy runners - at least two, maybe three times a set?

It's a very, very small percentage of dummy runners that get penalised for making contact with defenders. If the defender makes a poor read and jumps onto the wrong runner, that's not a penalty. If the runner doesn't do anything to avoid contact, or initiates it, then that should always be a penalty IMO.

You very, very rarely see dummy runners get penalised in field. Only in really very blatant obstructions. But lots of times you will see players (none ball carrier and tackler) meet with an almost hug like contact, that neither seem concerned about. These never get penalised in-field. However if one of these occurs when a score gets looked at, they do get penalised.

This is rugby league, not American Football. As has been pointed out, a clear penalty. If a Wigan player charged into a Leeds man on the other side of the pitch, totally off the ball, that would be a penalty, right?

I agree with a lot you say Bloodbath but as has already been said Wigan walk a fine line and as I'm sure we will see on friday, it will be down to a fine art. Great it will make things more interesting on attack but again there has to be a sensible approach but unfortunatley the refs at our disposal do not have that sensible approach within them. In-field is always treated differently don't no why but the rules are more stringent when it may involve a try being scored

Try for me, although if the dummy runner decides to drop his shoulder and smack into someone, then he gets no sympathy from me for being so daft if the try gets knocked off

I'm with Gilder and Lister. The attacker made contact and took out JJB. JJB would not have made the tackle but that misses the point. He would have been able to continue sliding out and the eventual overlap may not have occured. Because JJB was denied the opportunity to take his place in the defensive line no try is correct.

The dummy run is fine, the contact was not.

I'm in this camp.

The modern game has taken the concept of dummy runners way too far, to the extent that players think it is now their right to wander about in front of the ball in the defensive line (and coaches and speccies defend it too much).

If a player gets in front of the ball it should be his responsibility to keep out of the way of everything, if he doesn't, penalty every time.

If the dummy runners don't like it, don't run offside.

Completely agree. It's naff all to do with which hole the ball carrier goes through. For me it's all about the decision the defender in question (in the case JJB) makes. If the defender decides he is going to tackle the lead runner as he gets the ball, the contact is fair and it is play on. If the defender decides he has no interest in the lead runner (as JJB didn't IMO, he tried to go around him) then it is a penalty. Your dummy runner needs to be convincing enough that he is going to get the ball. Wigan's wasn't there, and JJB had time to slide on to the next man, until he was blocked.

Having said all that, with the climate of refereeing as it is, I wouldn't have been surprised to see it given, nor would I have moaned about it, we're bound to be on the right end of a few of those this season.

Its hard to make rules entirely consistent once you allow attacking players in front of the ball and in the defensive line - mistakes are going to be made. The only real 'black and white' approach is to ban it completely.

Having said that, I think dummy runners are an important part of the game. The NRL has generally had a much more relaxed approach to dummy runners, with it basically being down to judgement as to whether the runner blocked a defender from stopping a try. Partly this is because defenders will quite often deliberately run into the dummy runner and claim they were taken out when they are miles away from the play. Without a video ref its sometimes very hard for the ref in the field to be able to make a call.

I do accept that its a different thing altogether if the attacking player applies real force to the defender - that is a penalty, but not necessarily obstruction.

In this case I agree with Gilder, Lister, G1, Maverick and Matt.

That said I think Silverwood actually ruled the score out as he didn't want to see any replays of the Charnley try celebration.
