Hull Derby

[moto748]

HRK squeezing the life out of FC so far. They are barely getting out of their own half.

Only watching in bits and bins Hull look to have reverted to type and KR look the team Wigan should face in the grand final as for me watching the snooker (far more absorbing tbh having been there this week)

And Joe Burgess strolls in again!

I've got snooker and pool on the 'to watch' list, so a packed programme!

genuine question

what's the current rule re offside from a kick? For KR's 2nd try Burgess was onside, but there was a player in an offside position when the ball was kicked and was within 10m of where the Hull player was / should have been taking the ball?

so is he in an offside position and impacting on play (note i think its a stupid rule anyway) or because Burgess took the ball, and was onside, does that take precedent. The VR only focussed on Burgess and Gildart i think it was on replay

I thought exactly the same, pieman. And it's a regular complaint of mine that often, kicks go up, and chasers are in front of the kicker,and they don't give the catching defender 10 m as they should, but tackle him, and as long as the defender retains possesion, it's play on. But it should be a pen to the defence, and a chance to clear their lines.
