Loiner Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Thought tonights game was a great advertisement for our game, but can someone please explain the shot clock. What happens when a team runs out of time on goaline drops outs and scrums ? Are they penalised,and if so what's the penalty ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnyia Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 So glad they've brought this in! No more water breaks and team talk by the water boy at every scrum, no more injuries at every drop out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume either team can be penalised, or is it just the team that's putting in? Obviously the team without the ball can waste time too, but it seemed like all the onus was on the side feeding the scrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 The positive for me was the reduction in the ref having to explain to players how to form a scrum because they are being idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh1 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 And weren't the scrums fantastic. Ball in. Ball out. Get on with the game. Would love to see a split screen showing these scrums compared to one of the six nations scrums that we are about to endure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a scrum in the sense that it's a fair competition for the ball. Union scrums that take 5 minutes from start to finish aren't my cup of tea either so don't get the impression I prefer them! I just don't see the relevance of modern day scrums in rugby league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hallucinating Goose Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Can someone just clarify something for me, maybe Ive missed something. Obviously if the ball is not fed into the scrum in time then that team gives away a penalty but what happens if the other team is pratting about and not forming the scrum properly and running the clock down? Do they give away a penalty then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see the relevance of modern day scrums in rugby league. I see what you're getting at, but for reasons of variety I think we need to have different ways of restarting a game. Maybe we really should go back to contesting scrums somehow, but not in the messy Union style. I don't mind seeing a big push at a scrum to try and gain possession. Rewards a big pack, and the converse of that is that a smaller pack is rewarded with being less tired and more mobile later in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ball can be cleared quickly it gives the backs a bit of an edge.

Oliver Clothesoff Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 For a first go, it worked really well. Hope Sky can add a small graphic to the screen but can’t really fault it on its debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkw Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I thought the best indicator that this is an excellent idea that works really well is the fact the ref never once had to penalise anyone, every scrum was done within the allotted time.

From what I saw they seemed to call the shot clock off a little bit before they fed the ball. I suppose this gives them a bit of leeway if they were only a second or so off of the shot clock as long as they're ready to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
