I need to watch an NRL game with you Shaz. In the first four minutes a bloke kicked the ball along the ground under 'last tackle' situation; the ball hit the bum of the opposing player, who picked it up and got pinged + penalty for offside. I understand offside from soccer, but I don't understand how he can be offside if someone kicked the ball into him. Surely that denotes he was onside? Or is there a spacial meterage used to define offside?
Anyway. I have heaps of questions. We need to watch a game with two teams you don't care about, so my questions don't annoy you.
I am starting to see some tactics though. So that's a bright light. I can think of some BBALL plays that could work on the lines for NRL.
