How long have you been watching the game? I can't remember when it was stopped but it used to happen quite a lot. At one time the marker could also strike for the ball at the play the ball when it was placed on the ground.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg

Schofield was a master. I have always wondered why there weren't more broken hands when you could strike for the ball?

what about when you could play the ball to yourself...?
i.e tap it forwards and pick it up instead of rolling it back with your foot....

I remember Tamati doing that a bit....

It's not that long ago since it was stopped, like the Flying Biscuit says, you could also play the ball to yourself, that was when it was a quick ptb and there were no markers.

They should have kept that rule, it's not as if it happens all the time, saying that Saints would just be Roby taking 6 drives then turning it over.

Do they ever give reasons for dropping certain aspects, certainly an entertaining rule.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

There was also a rule that if the dummy half got tackled in possession it was a scrum with head and feed to the defending side. That should be brought back, but with a handover instead of a scrum.

I'd forgotten that one. That was when hookers were actually hookers, not halfbacks with a number 9 on their backs.

[b:3v5chy3z]Brian McDermott paraphrased Peter Fox. "He'd say if we had 13 Bernard Dwyers we wouldn't lose many RL games. It's the same for us with JJB"[/b:3v5chy3z]:38511.jpg



wally lewis gets my vote as the best player ever as he had absolutely everything

In the 9s last season if the dummy half was tackled it was a handover and it worked really well.
