Play Ball

In rugby league, when a tackle is complete you have a play ball situation. The tackled player is placed in front of the ball with a receiver approx 30mm behind, the opposition have 2 markers in front of the player and the rest of the side behind the play. The player is then flicked at the ball thus passing back to the receiver, the ball must make contact with the receiver, if the ball misses then a scrum is awarded to the other side. 5 tackles are allowed, after that the possession goes over to the other side, therefore the best ploy is a tactical kick and try and keep possession.
