Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 2453382, member: 1978"] [b]Re: Finals Week 3 Discussion[/b] 1. separation while grounding the ball for a try. Separation is not against the rules it's only an occurrence which can happen during play and it has been defined so the numpties know that if there is separation the ball can be regained providing it doesn't hit another player. Talk about complicating the lost ball rule. 2. FOUND! 3. chicken wing. Covered that but here it is covered again under aa more specific Law of the Game Foul “throws” 1. (a) A tackler must not make use of any special “holds” or “throws” which are likely to cause injury or use his knees in the tackle. 4. sliding feet first tackle. Covered that, it's striking if you slide feet first into another player. You can still place your legs/feet under the ball but if you slide in and make contact it's striking. 5. quick restart for 20m tap. ?? Why would it be in the rules, you're still tapping the ball and playing on. IIRC the refs introduced a guideline because they used to cop sh@t for delaying the game until the defending side (read the ref) was onside. So instead of just admitting they were ruling it incorrectly they make a guideline as if to say this is new. Let me tell you we used to play on straight away when I was playing juniors and that was 35 - 40 years ago. Lewis was brilliant at it in his day. 6. Benefit of the doubt. There is no such thing as a Benefit of the doubt rule, it is not defined anywhere I can see in the Laws or guidelines. 7. Video referee He is still a referree isn't he and therefore defined in the Laws of the game, but I agree they should include this term for the sake of accuracy. "The Referees Guidelines 2011 an explanatory Guide" are not the "Laws of the game 2012" they are simply meant to help the nuffies out but a lot of the time all they do is confuse them more. [/QUOTE]
