Rules that arn't exploited but could be

[greenos]

1. Rather then contesting a kick with Folau, a crappy defender should rather tackle him in the air. Plus potential injury :sarcasm:
2. If a kicker has been doing deep kick off's to one side, a player should do a run up from outside the field of play and jump and try and catch it if it comes close.

The 2nd could be exploited a few ways but you never see players jump from outside to catch the ball.
Dissapointing

any more?

the forward pass when going up for the ball, catch the ball do a control pass/throw the ball forward into the ingoal area of the opposition and score, the video ref can not rule on a control passing motion

the video officals , they know theres been a illegal play by the pass going forward, but since they cant rule on it they have to give it a try.

thats what you call unfair play bu the officals who run the game

 

[greenos]

hmmm interesting

 

[Gaba]

you mean throw the ball forward to yourself and hope the ref doesnt see?

ok make sure its not too obvious, but even if the ref did see it he is likely to go upstairs and ask was the ball knocked on, if it was a control pass motion, then it was a pass , the video ref has to come back and say even though the ball went forward it was from a pass, no knock on have to award the try.

When i say a control pass motion im not talking about the tap back or tap on, video refs are allowed to rule on them , im talking about the 2 handed or one handed control pass

What will happen if while doing a hitup u jump both feet off the ground into the defence will this be a mid air tackel?

Not getting square at marker when Robbie Farah runs at you.

Wait wut.

 

[Loudstrat]

If you have the ball and no one is in front of you, you should run.

ffs....

 

[urban eel]

i'm really surprised that the 1 on 1 strip isn't used more
especially in a surrendered tackle situation

1) A defender can tackle an attacking player in the air, but this can't be done dangerously and before he has the ball otherwise you're taking him out. Timing would have to be absolutely perfect and if a players timing is that good he might as well just time his leap and catch the damn ball.

2) The reason you never see players jump from outside to catch the ball is because it'd be stupid. The ball would be considered out off them.

No if you touch the ball off a kick-off and you're out of the field of play, the ball is out but its classed as the team kicking the ball out on the full.

If you're in the air you're classed as where you last stood - so AFAIK you if jumped from outside off the kick-off and just touched the ball before touching the field of play (you don't even need to catch it) the ball would be deemed out and your team would receive a penalty.

Simple way around that, video ref can rule REFS CALL and the ref can rule on the forward pass...

Optional restart. Dead set it became extinct to the point where i thought the rule had been removed, until another poster said otherwise.

 

[Jumpin Jackass]

So when a team is kicking a penalty goal what if the opposing (waiting in the ingoal.) all sat on each others shoulders and attempt to punch the ball back into the field of play if it's about to go through.

Oh that gives me another idea to stop folous cross feild bomb. you could have a specialist player who climbs up the goal post and sits perched on the crossbar. then when the cross feild kick comes across, BAM!! out of nowhere this crazy bastard leaps out and catches it in mid air.

Also similar to your first one. what if say during the kick off say billy slater was standing outside the field of play. and greg inglis were to pick him up and carry him like a baby and then billy catches the ball. THE LAST SPOT HE WAS STANDING WAS OUTSIDE THE FIELD OF FREAKIN PLAY, Boyaa instant penalty Motha F*cker.

That is all.

Robbie Farah tried it and failed to find touch. As a result, he cost them the game :lol:

But i agree, don't know why it's not tried more often

Kick the ball into the referee ALL THE TIME.

I know the attacking team gets the scrum feed, and six more tackles, correct?

If so just keep bloody doing it and after a few times you will be on the opposition's 10m line!

 

[Where Eagles Dare]

Get someone to pass you the ball at head-height and header it soccer style over the opposition and catch it on the other side? Or is there a rule against deliberately playing at the ball with your head?

In 2008 I think it was Tigers vs Souths (not 100% sure of this though), we were on the attack and on the last tackle Matt Head put in a solid grubber that would have gone 10-15m dead, but aimed it right at the referee, and got a repeat set for it. I don't know if it was intentional or just a bad kick with a lucky result, but it looked pretty intentional.
