Gents,
Both my TJs today were of the opinion that you couldn't take a mark from a PK (that is, red kick a PK aiming for touch, Blue player inside 22 catches ball and calls mark, I awarded it).
I was of the opinion that they were wrong (and was ready to get a law-book out, but mine was from 2005 and I wasn't keen to get into arguments with those who had kindly assisted myself during the day).
Who was right?
I couldn't find anything in law to suggest that I was wrong (am aware you cannot mark from a restart, but you'd have thought if the same held from a PK they'd have added that in the same sentence?).
