[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1032190, member: 73592"] Bear on mind that the "coaching" stuff isn't because players don't know the law. Everyone knows the law on offside for a kick ahead. The issue is that the player thinks they're inside, and the ref disagrees. I see no problem whatsoever with the ref I forming the player to stop his run and stop him getting involved in the play and creating a stoppage. It seems utterly bizarre to me that anyone could object to this. Same at maul, same at ruck, same with tackle release... Or quite honestly, any area where the player and ref can hold honestly different opinions as to whether they're allowed to do what they're doing. And that's not coaching, by any definition - it's warning players about something they have no way of otherwise knowing. [/QUOTE]
