He's talking about it being a penalty if a kick off or drop out doesn't go 10m.
If your logic is that it should be the exact same as general play kicking, why shouldn't they be able to kick it 1m or backwards?

I see. Thanks for pointing that out.
If they got rid of the rule from a kickoff that it is the kicking teams feed if it finds touch then I would be fine with allowing a kick to go less than 10m before the kicking team can gather it in (also it would have to be the last tackle).
f**k I hope no one at HQ is reading this thread. I can see them running with this one. Ha ha
The under 12s rule - 5 points for a try with 3 or more passes in the play. 3 points for anything less.
They do that in that 'other' game they play in Victoria. A game based on kicking. But you can't kick? Doesn't matter, son. Here, have a point for trying and a butt-slap from your other skinny-framed, mullet-wearing teammates.

‘Need to enforce the rule’: NRL’s shock bunker move means changes for field goals
‘Need to enforce the rule’: NRL’s shock bunker move means changes for field goals
Oh yay, the NRL sucking away yet more enjoyment from the fans.
Imaging celebrating a golden point win, only for some ref in the bunker to come back and say your marker stepped 30cm to the left and then they go and take away the field goal?
Stuff that.
If the ref sees something then sure, stop the clock, and then let the video ref check.
None of this "award the try/field goal and then we'll take it away if we find something" bullshit. It's the WORST.
How good's that going to be? They bring up on the replay to check if the marker wasn't square, but it shows that they were both square, although it does show 3 players were 7m offside but they can't do anything about it....

They should also on every try check to see if the play the ball was correct as in the ball touched the foot.Would this have been enforced if Townsend misses the field goal?
The bunker official will reportedly inform the on-field referee to delay kick-off until a final decision has been made regarding any foul play.
Should a missed field goal attempt go past the dead ball line, the bunker will also be able to check if markers were square before pressuring the kicker.

Actually it would have been penalty to you if a Souths player touched it. But if the kick didn't go ten, or went sailing 20 rows back into the grandstand, then it's a scrum.
Yep watching that first tackle is the best or even better a team gets a few of them inKent is right, the fact that they are talking about is embarrassing. I mean what's next?
Why would you do a tap kick 20m from your own line? So basically with a lot of kick offs, the teams are caught 10m from their own line. So supposedly changing the rule, you're gaining an extra 10m? Pleease.
I think it was mentioned that other day with Alexander and Ennis, and they suggested changing the rule to avoid the incident with Preston.
They are so worried about concussions and injuries, yet there is a small percentage of head knocks from the kicks offs.
We love seeing front rowers go at full pace taking the ball up and either getting smashed or breaking the tackle. But if we limit the interchange to 4 or 6, perhaps a front rower would be fatigue and wont go the full speed, perhaps that might limit the concussions who knows.
For now, just leave it alone
