Quote: Superted "When did the rule change about a kicker being able to play everybody onside? I notice now, if you're infront of the kicker you are offside, but in years gone by, the kicker could sprint forward and play everybody onside - I know this must have changed, but don't remember hearing anything about it.'"
You're confusing this with where the offside player is ALREADY within the 10 - the kicker cannot put him onside.
A player who was in front of the kicker, but was still more than 10 form the fielding player, can be put onside.
There is then, of course, the player who was offside at the PTB, e.g a'la Hanley, - he is "out of play" and can only be put onside by retraeting back to the last "onside" position (not that Hanley ever did!).
