Quote Pound 4 Wrighty="Pound 4 Wrighty"To be honest, i only ever thought about a 7th tackle with regards kicks on the last play as I was just trying to come up with something that would eradicate any doubt and possibly make the refs life a bit easier, without penalising either team too harshly.
If the ball is kicked, touched by the defending team (played at or not) and ends up back with the attacking side they get a 7th tackle. If it ends up in the hands of the defending team its zero tackle
If the ball has been tapped down by the defender in an attempt to intercept, its a knock on, if it is touched in the act of making the tackle, then the 7th tackle could be applied.'"
Thierrey Alibert introduced the 7th tackle at Warrington a few seasons ago, to allow them to win a close game against Wakefield at their place
