my suggestions.
Law 10.4.c A player is offside if.
Was in front of a team-mate who kicked the ball and
fails to retire immediately behind an onside team-mate or an imaginary line across the field 10 metres on that player’s side from where the ball is caught or lands, even if it hits a goal post or crossbar first. If this involves more than one player, then the player closest to where the ball lands or is caught is the one penalised. This is known as the 10-metre law and still applies if the ball touches or is played by an opponent but not when the kick is charged down.
Sanction: The non-offending team can choose either:
- Penalty at the place of infringement; or
- Scrum where the offending team last played the ball.
For me, just remove
the bit in Blue and that may help. Won't stop the kick tennis but will prevent players in front of the kicker being involved with play until "properly" put on side
7. Other than under Law 10.4c, an offside player can be put onside when:
a)An onside team-mate of that player moves past the offside player and is within or has re-entered the playing area.
b)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.
I would completeley remove Law 7b
