Tackler
A tackler is defined as a player who makes a tackle and in the action of making that tackle goes
to ground
.
Rolling Away – East / West NOT North / South & clear intention
Zero Tolerance
on
tacklers who
slow up the ball and stop the attacking team gaining quick possession
.
Play the Ball
A
tackler who regains his feet may play the ball from any direction at the tackle
A
tackler who regains his feet must get up and on the ball before attacking support players arrive.
If not
and they interfere, this is a PK against the tackler.
The tackler must play the ball “immediately”
in Law
– this is now defined as
before
attacking support players arrive.Slide5
Assist Tackler
Players
who make a tackle or assist in making a tackle but remain on their feet and do not go
to ground
are not “tacklers” under Law
.
Must
show clear
release i.e
. ‘daylight made obvious
’
Play
the ball through their gate.Slide6
Tackled Player
The tackled player must not position their body
(e.g..
‘squeeze ball’) to delay the release of the
ball when
isolated or under pressure. The ball must be available immediately for play (PK). Slide7
Arriving Players
“Through the Gate”
Both
defensive
and attacking
players must
enter ‘through
the gate’ at the tackle
.
Arriving players –
positive intent
and supporting their own body weight. No sealing off.
A
player who is supporting the ball carrier, or who then goes to ground with the ball carrier in
or following
a tackle must roll away, or get to their feet and be supporting their weight on their feet
