Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3586573, member: 1769"] now on to the interpretation changes for 2024. but first lets hear from the NRL's Director of Spin, Graham Annesley: “Coaches have been pushing the envelope more and more so,” Annesley said. “So it’s best to reset the standards now in training rather than on the field during matches.” “We are doing a reset, this is not a clamp down,” he said. “The reason we are doing it now and the reason we have had a meeting with the coaches is we want them to fix these issues in training so that when we get to match day we don’t have to worry about it. “There isn’t a blitz. “If the coaches prepare their teams on this basis then they won’t have any concerns. It’s not our objective to start and stop the game and blowing penalties all over the field. “There has always been a downtown rule but we need to bring attention back to it,” Annesley said. “Now a player from the kicker’s team cannot advance until the point where the ball goes over their head. They have to stay at least level with the ruck until then. In recent years when they knew their team was going to kick the ball they would tear down the field.” [ATTACH type="full"]25908[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
