In my game on Saturday, lo and behold the 10 restarted with little grubber kick that he was able to gather himself just after it crossed the 10m line .

Nice play. But better, I think, if there is...

This sounds like it is covered simply by the 10m Law , the tackler should have been retreating .

But the scenario needs a little more detail to be able to make a decision .. did the 10m law apply....

I fear this idea - while attractive - would also backfire on the ref

Yes, good point

Its Law 3.24

If, at any point during a match, a player is concussed or has suspected concussion, that player must be immediately and permanently removed from the playing area. This process is...

This is absolutely wrong. She should have been removed from the field

Indeed it's normal

In the Australian system time is being wasted , so might be a good shout. In England thee is still going to be 80:mins to play

I believe you. But then I would say you are escalating too far too fast. Abandoning the gamenl becasue one team comes out late is disproportionate, I think

I have not ever had a team being maliciously late. But sometimes you do get teams who are not well organised becoming late and still huddling when the moment comes.

Generally I would do nothing....

I am not sure you would get the support of your society / union. It would be a brave step to actually pick up your whistle go home

But that's a bluff , right? You wouldn't really go home ...

.. so, if it didn't work ....

You simply cannot start with a PK , there is no offence committed and nothing in the Law Book to cover a PK

Write a quick report to the League organisers and let them deal with it.

And...

I'itlandais is mod???

Is that true ?
He didn't mention it on this thread, asking who the mods are

becasue your ignore list full already ?

You are saying a QTI is the same as a lineout
You might just as well say a ruck is the same as a scrum

They are just different things.

I would say that if the ball...

Its not hard

There are lineouts (with offside lines and lots of other laws) some are more quickly executed than others
.
There are QTIs (different things, with no offside lines and few other...

I said that the QTI does nor CREATE AN OFFSIDE LINE

A common scenario is
- blue kick to touch
- blue 6 is in front of the kicker

if blue 6 continues to move forward, and then contests the...

If you were offside and continued to moving forward toward the ball, you should be penalised

Becasue it's not a quickly taken lineout (which does have offside lines, for both teams) it's a QTI !

i find that one hard to imagine :

1 how did blue 6 get there (50m sprint) so fast - was he actually behind the kicker ? or was he offside himself?

2 but putting that aside: no - Red 5 should...

So think you would be wrong .. but perhaps spell out the scenario you have in mind ?

No

The PK and the QTI have similarities in that the ball is half dead. The whistle has gone but one team is free to play the ball immediately, while the other isn't . Its both live and dead...

But it isn't really, is it. Its the same as a PK : one team is free to play it (in the prescribed way) . Its the famous zombie ball

Yes. ...
