Rule changes 2025

Apparently no rule changes, but an interpretation change.

So still comes down to interpretation by the ref/video ref regarding the lead runner.

also the play the ball is being monitored. Something i noticed last year too. Players were just rolling the ball through their legs without even attempting to touch it with their foot.
So the first 4 weeks should see a heap of penalties, until they move on to other things and forget about it again.
