This is what's called a failed attempt of a smokescreen.

[Mr Spock!]

After the debacle on field, nothing would surprise me from this amateur-hour organisation.

The six again error wasn't the only one made. When a team kicks the ball they relinquish ownership of being the attacking side WHEN THE BALL IS IN A CHARGEDOWN SITUATION AND STILL ALIVE, the team with the chargedown becomes the attacking side. Canberra should have had the ball to feed the scrum not Roosters.

No, that's not how it works. If the Raiders kicked it or even passed it into the trainer at their end, it would be an Easts scrum.

It depends which end you're at.

That's how stupid it is.

The rule was designed when scrums were 50/50. Now its a straight out gift.

The Roosters kicked it and it was an active chargedown then hit the Roosters trainer. That makers Raiders the attacking team.

No, the ball was in Easts attacking half.

It's about territory - not who has the ball.

if the trainer was 5m back in Easts defensive half it would've been a Raiders ball.

Same if it hits a ref.

Rules need to be changed.
