Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3684686, member: 8423"] [URL='https://www.nine.com.au/sport/nrl/news-2024-kick-off-rule-change-the-mole-exclusive-20241111-p5kpt9.html'][I]Wide World of Sports[/I]' The Mole is reporting[/URL] that the rule change will see any team who has a kick-off that goes beyond the opposition's 20-metre line on the full concede a seven-tackle set. Currently, any kick-off that goes over the dead ball line on the full concedes a penalty in the middle of halfway, but that requires a 60-metre kick. A 30-metre kick is a far shorter proposition, and the [URL='https://www.zerotackle.com/']NRL[/URL] is understood to be hopeful that it will reduce the speed of collision in the first tackle after a kick-off. The [URL='https://www.zerotackle.com/']NRL[/URL] had already made changes to rules policing short kick-offs and dropouts last year in an attempt to encourage teams to use the tactic more often, removing penalties for failed attempts and instead only allowing the non-offending team to receive a standard restart.
