Another potential solution, keep the 10m law and gut 7b with:
Law 10.4c, an offside player can be put onside when:
7b) An opponent of that player:
Carries the ball five metres; or
Passes the ball; or
Kicks the ball; or
Intentionally touches the ball without gaining possession of it.
Gives the catcher a couple of seconds to play or kick and forces opponents to get back 10 to stop them mugging the kicker, but makes it simple(r) for us?
