Offside rule - help? : Sat Jun 30, 2012 2:13 pm
On Thursday, Sam had a try wiped out for offside. This was in the first half, when the score was 0-6.The ball was kicked forward by one of our players, and Sam was clearly a yard or so in front of the kicker. However, the ball was played at by one of the Featherstone players.
Why did that not put Sam back onside. No-one on Premier Sports mentioned it (including the video ref), and I'm curious to what the ruling is? I'm maybe thinking it's because Sam was less than 10m from the Featherstone player (he was about 1m away!), but is it that, or am I missing something? The video ref was only interested in whether Sam was in front of the kicker, and nothing else?
