Re the scrum feed from the trainer header -

Mutual Infringement
refers to any occurrence during a match which is not already provided for in the Laws of the Game and whereby play is irregularly affected and fault cannot be attributed to either team.

In the case of a mutual infringement, the attacking team shall have the loose head and put in.
Raiders should have been the attacking team given that Roosters had kicked the ball, it came off a Raider and the person in a position to pick it up was a Raider.

Yep, this has been the rule for a while in regards to ball hitting referees, for example. But the issue is if a trainer interfering is fault not attributable to either team.

I'm not saying he did, but what if the trainer deliberately got in the way, or even just made a half hearted or poor attempt to get out of the way. Does this rule cover that? Should the team whose trainer did that get a reward?

I think we just want teams to not get an advantage from interference from one of the team not in the playing group.
