Oi, Colonel, you sure ?

Yes. I'd rather take the word of a RFL Referee development officer than a faceless button pusher*.

I don't want to be reminded of that.

Stevo didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with him throwing the babe orward in his own ingoal area

After the rubbish you were saying about being allowed to pass forward in the in-goal area I suggest you enrol on a refresher course.

No need to, i stand by my interpretation.

I missed this - in what circumstances can you pass the ball forward?

You can't.

Forgive me Paul, but I think I'll wait for WOTT's interpretation of the laws of the game before forming a definitive view.

I think authorative would be more apt.

Here's the thread forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?t=405804 The one where WOTT rinses Paul.

I did too, but then WOTT spoke, and I listened. Maybe in hindisght, my Nan was correct, I am a pawn shop.*

WOTT is getting mixed-up with the old can't be off-side within the in-goal area. This is true and is covered in section 14 of the rules by the inclusion of the specific wording "except when he is in his own in-goal".

Forward pass is covered in Section 10 where it says:

"A player will be penalised if he deliberately kocks-on or passes forward"

No exceptions are given.

WOTT would seem to be confused by the old "in-goal area" not part of the field of play rubbish. See Section 2: Field of Play of the rules that clearly indicates the "in-goal" areas as part of the field of play.

Anybody who doubts the above can consult:
I know its the 2004 version but niether of these rules have changed in recent times.
