| Sorry PT I think you're wrong, Bradford Saints grand final. There was a big debate regarding Chris Joynt not being penalised for a voluntary tackle in the dying seconds.
The trouble its another rule that's just not penalised or has been allowed to disappear.

| Im sure I remember Luke George's knee giving way as he was carrying the ball and the ref (Ganson?) giving the opposition a penalty for a voluntary tackle as Luke was helped off the pitch.

| Voluntary tackle 4. A player in possession shall not deliberately and unnecessarily allow themselves to be tackled by voluntarily falling to the ground when not held by an opponent. If a player drops on a loose ball they shall not remain on the ground waiting to be tackled if they have time to regain his feet and continue play.
Ok I stand corrected Poplar

| I may have dreamt this, cos my memory is not as good as it once was!
Under John Kear, when we had to win was it 4 out of 6 etc; we played Bradford away. A Bradford player laid on the ground with the ball and David Solomona hovered over him and did not touch the player. I think we were given a penalty and this had a result on the outcome - a win.
Perhaps I have dreamt it, perhaps wrong match/player etc
Perhaps it's one of those folk law tales!

| Back in the day, you could be penalised for "feeding" the scrum, imagine if they enforced this nowadays !

How about hookers penalised for 'Foot Up' in the scrum, you're never likely to see that ever again although you never know with that bloke we had on Sunday.
Scrum Half not 'retiring' behind the scrum after putting the ball in.

| If/when we get back into Super League will we be allowed to pass the ball forward or does that still only apply to Wigan, Leeds and Saints or is it all Category A clubs?

| Thanks Spook
It's always interesting to read the definitive version. This is what the rule book says about the play the ball -
Retire at play-the-ball (g) players of the side not in possession other than the player taking part in the play-the-ball and the acting half back are out of play if they fail to retire ten (10) metres from the point at which the ball is played or to their own goal lines. Players of the side in possession other than the player taking part in the play-the-ball and the acting halfback must retire behind their players involved in the play-the-ball or to their own goal line.
(h) having retired the distance prescribed in the preceding paragraph no player of the team not in possession may advance until the ball has cleared the ruck. A player who is out of play may again take part in the game when the advantage gained by not retiring has been lost.
My understanding of the term "cleared the ruck" is when the acting halfback has passed the ball but I don't recognise that as any part of a rugby league match.

I know you've got that from the link Spook posted, but that looks like the "Modified Rules" for U12's and under. I'm sure the international rules (which is the default away from any modified rules) says that they cant advance until the ball is played by the tackled attacker

I took the lead from the RFL website and chose the heading "laws of the game"... I've just checked again and this is the only page on the RFL website which outlines the Laws to read... there are no other pages or references.
For balance here is the link to the published International Rules of the Game
