It may be silly but the rule has been around for years, I remember Turley diong it against Wigan but they gave it as Turley being out of play and Wigan getting the ball back.
Everyone know's (or should know) the rules so it boils down to the kicker at the end of the day to not let it happen.

The lad stood behind me spotted that play by the Sheffield player straight away. Mind you he is a referee.
I cannot believe how bad I feel today. Have been up awhile now and not even put the kettle on.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing

I agree the rule looked stupid last night, but, the Sheffield player did well to bear it in mind. Commiserations Leigh, I hope your effort this year has done you enough to get a licence next time round.

the 'silly' bit can be used on a number of rules, ie, scrum.....I saw it as a fantastic skillful use of the rule, cracking awareness and if they hadn't scored from the following play and you won the game, this thread probably wouldn't have been started |

Tremendous awareness and skill for the Sheffield player to manage it, fair play to him.

| It was Alex Szostak and for me it was one of the crucial moments of the game.
Gave us great field position and we ended up extending our lead.  |

It was quick thinking that's for sure, the lad did well, it's in the rules, it may be a daft one, but the lad used it to their advantage, so fair play to him.

Watched it again on replay , he took a hell of a risk , if he had knocked on , it is quite conceivable it could have cost them the game , but luck favours the brave , he gambled and won , well done

I hate the 'not being able to drag players in to touch' rule they changed, preferred the old one.
Regards the kick off
I've seen Lee Briers do it twice, i love the rule, the kickers should be aware of it and not kick so close to the lines.

But that's what sport is about , 6 inches one way , it's a good kick , 6 inches the other way , it's a bad one |

It's definatley a strange one , I know that by the number of people I've had to explain it to
But it is a rule , they benifited from it , we didn't , as I said he took a massive gamble , and won |

Risk ? I reckon he just needed to touch it and it was a penalty. If he'd knocked it on, it'd still be a penalty. |
