I would expect it is still likely recorded as an error, like kicking the ball out on the full in general play.

In the only change to the game's rules for the 2024 season, teams will no longer cop a penalty when a kick restart fails to go 10 metres or enters touch on the full.

Instead, the receiving team will be given a play-the-ball 10 metres out from the line of the kick and 10 metres in from touch.

The rule change comes after a significant increase in the amount of short droputs in recent seasons, leading to more contested possessions.

R1: Tigers (Fainu?)
R2: Titans (Campbell)
R3: Dolphins (JMK)
R4: Storm (Grant, Papenhuyzen, Blore)
R5: Sharks (Hynes, Iro?)
R6: Panthers (Cleary)
R7: Souths (Murray, Tatola, Munro?)
R8: Dogs (Curran, Knight, Hughes?)

Last season Roosters had a bye where the Storm does , and I’d say the average was 3 Roosters per team. Clearys bye was even earlier. The rest of the early bye teams look very manageable IMO

I think this pushes the risk/reward factor too far towards the kicking team. If you mess up a short drop out worst case scenario you get to defend with a set line in the easiest spot on the field. Refs will need to be on top of repeated infringements around the goal line to even the odds

One of my all time favourite destinations ask away

You ever had a French Taco? Neither a taco or particularly French... thin toast around spiced meats, melted cheese, garlic mayo and CHIPS.

That's only the silver medal in the greedy sandwich olympics though, gold goes to the Portuguese Francesinha: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesinha

French tacos are good tier drunk food.

I fear those cheapies might get 20pt or less averages.
