Line out question

[don1012]

Hello there,

Just a quick question regarding line-outs. When the player acting as half back comes into the line, do they have to receive the ball? I know this was the rule for a while, just wondering if its still the same.

Not as far as I know, you can put him in as a decoy if you like.
