Rule query : Sat Apr 06, 2019 11:32 pm  

In the midst of the bizarre situation the Scott Mickalauskas created at one point, Ryan Hampshire took a knock on and appeared to try to play a free play. Now, I am beginning to get on a bit and my memory can disappoint me. Is that still a rule or did that get abolished for this season? To be fair, in my defence, the rule change frequency in RL is a bit laughable at times but I could not understand what went on there. Did Ryan Hampshire have fatigue induced memory loss or was this another Mickaluaskas cock up?

There is now no free play, Rocky made an error

However he was pushed away from making the collection so should still have been a penalty

Or maybe he spotted a clear tryscoring opportunity. The fact that a defender cut across and checked him off the ball followed by a second defender also coming across his line and taking him out without the ball seemed to be at least a penalty and probably a card offence or as the referee saw it - play on!!

And yet they persist with that stupid 7 tackle rule.
