Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2787798, member: 1769"] The touchies already keep the 10m so they should be able to call offsides. the touchies being in line with the 10m instead of the ball is also the reason they aren't in a position to call forward passes and why so many are now missed. with 2 refs on the field, one should be controlling the ruck and one should be marking the 10 and monitoring for offsides. this would then allow the touchies to be in line with the ball ready to call forward passes. The rule was never changed. in fact the first time 'passive offside' was ever sighted in the NRL was when they used it to allow a try for NSW in origin, but even using passive offside the NSW try should never have been allowed, as contesting and chasing the ball is clearly being involved in the play. there have been calls for a passive offside rule to be implemented (similar to soccer) but they never have. Just another case of over-complicating something that doesn't need to be complicated. another way for the judiciary to let players off who they want to let off. [/QUOTE]
