Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2453386, member: 2115"] [b]Re: Finals Week 3 Discussion[/b] ah but you see up until the last few years the only way to regain the ball was to get control of it. you couldnt regain control with your forearm. you can now, as per the guidelines. and again, up until last year or the year before the "chicken wing" was a legal tackle. only now has it been added to the list of illegal techniques listed in the guidelines. nope, didnt cover that. its not striking lol. again, the 'striking' rule has ALWAYS been there in the "laws", yet up until last year sliding in feet first was 100% legal. sliding in has been put in the guidelines now though, and as such is illegal. do you see how what youre saying doesnt make sense? NOTHING changed in the Laws to stop this, yet it is now illegal whereas it wasnt 2 years ago. the only thing thats changed is the Referees Guidelines. itd be in the rules because before you had to wait for everyone to be onside and the referees ready whereas now the person who takes the ball in-goals on the full can tap the ball as soon as they get to the line, and only if they dont pass/kick the ball upfield to another player. again, its a new rule that is not in the "Laws" but is in the "guidelines" and is enforced. wait, so youre saying that when the words "BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT" come up on the big screen its not an actual rule? theres no actual rule that the attacking team gets the benefit of the doubt? youre really going to try and argue this? and yes, it is in the guidelines: [url]http://www.rugbyleague.com.au/nrl/referee_guidelines.pdf[/url] "BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT The Benefit of the Doubt rule applies to the attacking team." the number of referees is defined in the "Laws". "One Referee Two Touch Judges 1. In all matches, a Referee and two Touch Judges shall be appointed or mutually agreed upon by the contesting teams" why does it say one referee if the video referees are referees? The video referee is, however, mentioned in the "guidelines" and it specifies what they can rule on. theyre not the "Laws of the game 2012", correct. theyre the "Referee's Guidelines" and they are there to house all of the new rules that havent yet been added to the "Laws of the Game" (like the in-goal strip and down town now have). the fact that you think there is no benefit of the doubt rule says all that needs to be said.
