MARK - Is this a valid mark ?

[Decorily]

Or angels on a pinhead?

21.16
If the ball or ball-carrier touches a corner flag or corner flag post without otherwise being in touch or touch-in-goal, play continues unless the ball is grounded against the post..

What if the ball bobbles back off the corner flat post? Still okay for calling a Mark! ?

Well if it would be good enough to award a try from then I would also award the mark!

Edit. Oops...

If the ball hits the cross bar , of course, it's dead (6.9.f)

It's 2019, taff, we have to finally put the 2017 Law Book behind us now..

I don't think we can do that.

If a ball is caught directly from
a. a kick off, or
b. a penalty kick
and a resulting unsuccesful maul occurs, 2019 suggests that the scrum feed would go to the catching team in both cases. Is that how we would ref it?

I'll remember that next a penalty shot at goal hits the x-bar before going over

But you might bobble it backwards into a post?

That would not be a knock on then would it!

Can't believe the number of players I come across who don't understand that they have to call for the mark simultaneously when catching, or bobbling the ball.

If they don't call for it and signal with a bent arm do you still award it?

[ctrainor]

No. There's never enough crowd noise in my games for me not to here a mark being called.
Catching a ball and then bending an arm is not simultaneous.
I've seen them do it when their teammates shout at them to call a mark.
I say play on

No empathy there then!!

For me , if they catch the ball and claim a mark .. it's a mark .
Not sure why you would disallow it ?
