This is what's been paid the last 6 years.
Ruckman takes the ball from the ruck:
a) Still gets a chance to immediately dispose of the ball, "play on" if he does.
b) If the ball is pinned in the tackle, then obviously the player cannot dispose, therefore, it's a free kick.
c) If the player incorrectly disposed, e.g. misses the handball or kick, it's also a free kick.
Where the bounce or throw-in is offline:
a) The field umpire will call "play on".
b) If the player takes possession, general play rules apply. ie. Not an instantaneous "prior opportunity".
It's never a free kick just because a player is tackled.
Exactly right - this thread is embarrassing, I'd suggest some of the Port supporters in here learn the rules. The official rules were quoted by a Port supporter yet they still disagree with them
