Message: [QUOTE="Twiztid, post: 2667166, member: 2144"] The diagram does show that the player is holding the ball. The 2nd one shows the ball is at his feet. Once the player drops the ball and more so for a field goal, he can't pull out of it. Funny that when you read the NZ Rugby League Rulebook it is right there.

Why it isn't in the NRL rulebook makes no sense. 3.5 Dangerous Tackles 3.5.1 “Mid Air tackles”. Any player from the non-kicking team who leaps into the air to retrieve a kick must not be tackled until he/she has returned to the ground. It is considered misconduct for players to dive at the legs of a kicker after the ball has been kicked. [/QUOTE]
