The following additions/amendments to 2019 referee policy have been introduced with immediate effect:

Placing the ball on the defender lying on the ground – It is the responsibility of the player playing the ball to place the ball on the ground at their feet. If necessary the player should step backwards to ensure this can be done. OUTCOME – If the ball is placed on the tackler, this will be ruled a knock-on.

Moving off the mark/stepping over to deliberately place the defender in the ruck - It is the responsibility of the player playing the ball to place the ball on the ground at their feet, and not to advance off the mark - if necessary the player should step backwards. OUTCOME – The player in possession will be penalised for moving off the mark if deliberately stepping over a defender to place them in the ruck.

Playing the ball into a defender in the ruck – The player playing the ball should maintain balance and control when heeling the ball to the acting half-back. OUTCOME - In this situation the player in the ruck will be penalised if hit by the ball - or if in the opinion of the referee the half-back is prevented from picking the ball up. EXCEPTION – A penalty will be awarded against the player playing the ball if the ball is forcibly heeled back with the intention of contacting the defending player with the ball.

Passing into an opposing player – Any ball passed into an opposing player in and around the ruck, in any direction, will be deemed to be acting against the spirit of the game. OUTCOME - The passer will be immediately penalised.

Steve Ganson, the RFL’s Head of Match Officials, explained: “A number of high-profile incidents during and before the Easter weekend have shown certain teams or players acting contrary to the spirit of the game, in a manner that has infuriated fellow professionals, broadcasters and, crucially, supporters.

“After internal consultation, we have therefore decided to make these changes to referee policy with immediate effect, applying throughout the game. This is an unusual step, but not unprecedented – and we hope it will be welcomed by coaches, players and supporters.

“There is a meeting of head coaches next week, followed by the regular meeting of the RFL Laws Committee, at which these matters will be discussed, along with the situation regarding obstruction which has also been provoking a lot of discussion.”

I was hoping we would have brought Charnley back when he came back from the dark side and turned him to a centre he would have know how to create space for the winger unlike DS.I know before some people comment on we resigne to many ex players but I think it would have been worth it in this case

Sounds so simple doesn't it.

Is that your honest view? "Convert him to centre as he would know how to create space for a winger."

Jesus wept.

When we loaned him to Hull KR they played him at centre and after the loan period ended they wanted to sign him.


Go figure.

But who does that and even speeding it up by a quater of a second would have a massive impact.

Im not saying its truthful hence the i have a conspiricy theory.

A quarter of a second over a game? Or per second? I wonder how that works with live games. They start the broadcast 5mins after the real ko time?

If you don't want to test it, why do you feel the need to have this theory at all? Is it because your world view is that the NRL isn't that much better so when you are shown evidence that doesn't fit you have to believe that your eyes decieve you?

As said its just a conspiracy theory. I know its not really true.

I just found it very strange that the games look so quick but wheb the sams players are on the international stage it always looks slower.

Good shout. Happened 9 years ago and was for 5 games.

Going back to the earlier quote, on what basis will he know how to create space for a winger ?
