On the radio they were saying the corner post is regarded as in

well they’d know…

this is from the NRL article when the rule changed:

1. If a ball carrier makes contact with the corner post he will not be deemed to be out of play unless any part of his body has made contact with either the touch-line or touch-in-goal line, or the ground beyond the touch line or touch-in-goal line

2. If the ball is not in possession of a player and it makes contact with the corner post (e.g. from a kick) the ball will be deemed to be touch-in-goal as per the existing rule.

3. All other rules relating to the corner post and restarts of play remain unchanged.


Point 3 is the critical point there, as it states all situations not mentioned remain unchanged. The ball touching the corner post was always considered out, and it continues to be. It’s only the player’s body touching the post that has been been deemed ok

One of the worst things out of tonight is seeing that complete and utter bell-end Trent Robinson happy.
