Hmm - “It's the same plan that we used last time and the seventeen times before that.” really does some up the tactics of a number of teams I’ve reffed.
Tactics for the second half ?
Same as the first half

I think I already mentioned here a team who conceded FOUR 50/22s because they couldn't work out that they needed to drop someone back to defend that possibility

My understanding is that you must still retire if within 10M but if you are outside of this you are allowed to stand still until put onside. You cannot be put onside by any actions by the receiving side.
Yes to bit in blue.
Re. bit in red. It would appear you can be put on side by receiver if he 1. kicks the ball or 2. intentionally plays it (eg unsuccessful attempt to catch ball).

And I wonder if our old friend, the attempted charge-down, is impacted by this.

Thanks Dickie. Keep us posted. There’ll be a lot of interest in this trial.

I'll try but my team is in its death throes and probably won't exist after this season and the whole comp is only available on subscription TV, so I doubt I'll see much
