I'm wondering what the ruling is if a dropout travels say 30 mtrs but goes out on the full. Is it a penalty or a play the ball. If its a penalty at what point is a short dropout no longer deemed short?

I was told by a friend who is well connected with the NRL the main reason for changing the drop out rule was for concussion reasons. They are trying to avoid the long drop outs as that is one of the main causes of high impact collisions resulting in concussions. They are also looking at the kick off for the same reasons. Apparently they do not want to go public on it for what ever reason.

At first I thought someone was winding my friend up, but the more I think of it the more I think it may have legs. Anyway interesting theory

Of course that would be true. Nothing surprising about it.

Is that because of the run up after catching a kick and hitting the defensive line?

Same could be said for the start of both halves and after every try wouldn't? And really any kick in play?

Not sure I understand the logic? 🤔

 

[Yossarian]

Manly reserves, with a stack of former Tigers NRL and lower grade players, getting towelled up on Kayo.

Sea Eagles played like our reserves have looked in recent years. Awful handling.

Yep, very poor.
Especially with a team with so much experience.

Liked the #8 for the Drags tho.

Yep apparently they are looking at kick offs too.
