It happens. Just like early in the second half the Raiders were rucking it out deep in their own territory. A play the ball was almost sideline to sideline, but it was let go. Another time, another team and they would have been pinged.
Yep, Leilua cost them twice. That defensive play as well as blowing a try by showing a complete inability to execute a simple draw and pass.
He's been a liability for them for years. I can't believe Ricky perseveres with him.
No it doesn't have to land outside the field of play. If the defensive team gathers the ball in the in goal and runs the ball dead it is still a drop out.
Yeah but behind the in goal, if a defender touches the ball when they are in touch, but before it hits the ground, they are ruled as having put the ball into touch. So when an attacking player does the same then it should be a 20m restart. Unless the rules are different for attackers and defenders. But I've never heard of that.
yeah, there was a case a few weeks ago where the ball was past the dead ball line and an attacker grabbed it before hitting the ground and the refs ruled he had taken it dead - no other player nearby to make a play at it
I'm guessing that player wasn't in touch already. Cos reading that tweet it seems there are different rules for attackers and defenders.
He lost his train of thought.
Well being a titans player he wasn’t used to being in front of a crowd.
