Snowy didn't give him any points in his 1-2-3, so can't have

On these tactics, I don’t mind them, but has there been a rule change when it comes to hangovers inside the 10?The Sharks had a 7-tackle set at the 11 minute mark of this game which shows 1) why Brailey is such a good player, and 2) where the team need to improve.
After 3 hit ups Brailey engages markers and finds Finucane who uses Toby. They make 20 metres. This sets up a shift and the they make another 12-13m. Brailey then scoots when the markers split, makes another 15, takes the ball to the line and looks for runners. This is where the spine players and the players around the ruck should be pushing forward (Jack Williams was really good at this in 2021).
From the players around:
- Matt Moylan pushes up exactly how he is supposed to, but Brailey steps away from him
- Dale Finucane stands still
- Nicho Hynes pushes up but instead of pushing in to a hole, he stops
- Will Kennedy is moving at walking pace, and then follows late to get the offload
Brailey then passes to Wilton on the last, who is tackled a couple of metres out. This is something people have been critical of, but I reckon this was tactical from Fitz. They are trying to isolate the new halfback with a 1-on-1 against Wilton, and worst case they give it to the Raiders to ruck it out from a corner. The problem was - Sharks halves were not even in the picture, and everyone on that side of the ruck are standing still The Sharks all knew Wilton was getting it - but unfortunately so did the Raiders.
It starts at 16:40 in this video.

I absolutely could be wrong but I swear each time we handed it over inside their 10 the ball got moved to the 10m line for the play the ball?
Yeah since late 80s or so you really aren't supposed to be hungover on game day
But the good clubs still get away with it
To answer your actual question that is the case if there is a penalty or scrum or I guess kicked out in field of play on last (not sure about that one).
Tackled on the last should still be play the ball at the point of tackle (+ 1 or 2 meters from walking off the mark)

Why aren’t they penalising this?
Used to be a penalty!
Or at the very least call them back to the mark.
I love when the ref does pull up of the mark, so they step like 1m backwards and ref okays it even though they are like 2-3m off mark still

They don’t let them get away with it close to the attacking try line so shouldn’t anywhere else on the pitch.

Hadva cracking start to the year. New coach seems to have done him wonders.

Allowed him to play what’s in front more maybe, rather than a set/ structured game plan for him?
He certainly has impressed after the first 2 rounds

Love his improvement in his running game. He had half a dozen effective runs in the first half.

Breaks we SHOULD have scored from.
we had sooo many first half chances but just couldn’t ice or get away that last pass.
if we can take those, we blow teams out of the water early and cruise to wins

Yeah some final passes and poor execution. Early days and your right we get it right we will be up there

Well he has certainly turned into an above average player hasn't he. Excited for what's to come.

Big call on having Cook's running game mate.
