In the first half last night Ratchford had a try disallowed for Atkins being offside. Why? Yes Atkins was in front of the kicker but had no influence on the play, didn't obstruct anybody, didn't go anywehere near the ball and Ratchford gathered his own kick and scored! I am well aware that a player in front of the kicker has to give a defending player ten metres if the defender fields the ball but I was always of the opinion that if the kicker gathered his own kick he played all his team mates onside?? Nobody made a fuss and all the pundits agreed he was offside.....what am I missing??
