Play the Ball
|
• One marker to always be present.
• Football to be played backwards.
• The team not in possession, except for the marker, once back the 5 metres may advance forward once the football clears the ruck. The marker is not to move until the acting half-back runs with the football, mishandles or kicks the football or the football is received by the first receiver.
• Players of the side not in possession, apart from the marker, must retire not less than 5 metres from the play-the-ball area.
• The team in possession must retire behind the acting half-back.
|
|
Passing
|
2 or more. Should a player kick the football in general play and the football is regathered by that player who kicked or by an onside player of the same team, this is also a transfer of the ball and is to be regarded as a pass.
