Not sure this is valid. By your thinking why not say "I wouldn't allow a quick throw if the ball hit a tree, and that was material in making the ball easier to retrieve...."a dog is a harder question
in practice I wouldn't allow a quick throw if the ball hit a dog, and that was material in making the ball easier to retrieve. But if it was a glancing touch that made no differnece, I'd allow it

A dog is treated, in law, in the same way as a tree etc.
In the same way only in that neither are mentionedNot sure this is valid. By your thinking why not say "I wouldn't allow a quick throw if the ball hit a tree, and that was material in making the ball easier to retrieve...."

It's lucky that all the players in your scenarios follow your line of thinking ...In the same way only in that neither are mentioned
I think that if ball hits a dog, bounces back and team takes a QTI (and let's face it probably scores a try due to the confusion) then the options are
Play on , and one team is really upset with you and the other team , while not upset, probably mostly think that was a terrible decision by you.
Peep, sorry lads fixed object is play on, moving or living object QTI not allowed . And 30 players nod approvingly
Second one is better
Doesn't everyone!!!!!It's lucky that all the players in your scenarios follow your line of thinking ...
Indeed .. but what do you think is the best decision?It's lucky that all the players in your scenarios follow your line of thinking ...
In May, I was AR for a game where a bird dropped a fish on the field just a few minutes before kickoff. I moved it (with my foot ) a couple meters into touch. It was still alive at that point.Peep, sorry lads fixed object is play on, moving or living object QTI not allowed . And 30 players nod approvingly
Ahh but what if it's a really windy day and the ball hits a swaying branch that won't be in the same position for the other team later in the halfNot really, its all about equity.
The tree is there for both teams and will be there all match.
The dog wont be in the same place if the other team had a ball in touch, so that's not fair and equitable.
I was always taught fixed object are fine, moving/roving objects are not.
And also 6.8.bSafety
EQUITY
Law
In that order.
But if you need a law reference then it's 6.5a
Was it moving when the ball hit? If it was on the deck - stationary, QTI an option? Crate being carried and the ball hits, moving and no QTI?What about a semi moving object e.g. hand crate full of water bottles which move every stoppage?
