Over Stepping or Off the Mark occurs when the player who has been touched goes past the point where they were touched. In this case a penalty will be awarded to the opposition
When the ball goes to ground for any reason, possession changes and the game is recommenced with a Rollball.
Shepherding or obstruction will result in a penalty being awarded to the opposition
Deviation happens at recommencement of play when a defender does not retreat straight back 5 meters to an on-side position and thereby obstructs the attacking player. This will result in a penalty being awarded to the opposition.
For minor offences i.e. bickering with refs, shouldering, leg trips etc… the player can be sin binned for five minutes without replacement.
Foul play of any nature (the referee being the sole judge) will result in the offending player being sent from the field without replacement.
In Attack: The aim of the game is to score more touchdowns than the opposition; this is achieved by advancing towards the try line. At times it can be tactically advantageous to move towards the sideline to enable more room for further attacking plays
In Defence: When defending try to deny your opponents time and space by moving forward and making the touch. The faster you move up on the attacking team the less advancement toward your try line they will make.
Close support of the ball carrier allows more options in attack and means possession can be maintained. Close support also means no ground needs to be lost by having to pass the ball a long way backwards to a team-mate. Remember a pass directly sideways is allowed and can often be the most effective pass
A fresh set of legs on the field can be the difference between winning and losing. Look to interchange your players while on attack and in the area of the interchange box. Once you have made a touchdown it is good to get a whole new set of players out there to keep up the intensity.
