You are allowed to go in to touch when regaining your feet after a tackle is complete.

You're allowed to be in touch once the tackle is complete and you're in the process of getting up to play the ball.

It's an unusual rule that I can only recall being invoked half a dozen times in my days of watching league.

As such, on the very rare occasion that it comes in to play it catches a lot of people out as they're not aware.

Paul Crawley the noob journalist tweeted about it, abusing the touchies as hopeless; only to have to recant in embarrassment.

On Fox the commentator said it was ok as he was rising to his feet to play the ball. In other words the play was dead. I thought it was weird too.

Everyone noticed but the commentators explained it well, from both networks. Souths fans are still crying about that... let em!

My main concern was the forward pass Mitchell to Toupo for the last try. I haven't see it properly again. Either way it's happened twice and we got away with it. Let's hope they get it out of their game cause next time it could be really costly.

Weird rule given their zero tolerance of people fumbling the ball around after a hard knock. I sorta feel that the player should be 'out of play' until they play the ball if that makes sense?

I forget who, but somebody bobbed the ball while standing up because an opposition player gave them a bit of a shunt before they played the ball and I was like 'whaaaaa?!? Just play on guys...'

Yep very strange, has it always been like that or something recently changed? If you are out you are out, stupid rule, I guess that explains when Morris was over the sideline in the 2010 grand final though.

the foot of the player in the ruck can stand on the line. the dummy half cant

It's a stupid rule too they changed it a few years ago i think
