The rule I can't quite get my head around.....
behind kicked Full Back must kick it to himself if he wants to play on
Yet if the umpire calls play on, due to taking too much time, the umpire has called continue to play so the Full back should be free to do as demanded and play on, negating the requirement to kick to himself.
Far be it from me to understand the rules but he can play on as much as he likes, but if he wants to leave the square legally he must kick the ball to someone or to himself.
If Joel Selwood was kicking in he could just stand there until the umpire calls 'play on'. When the opponent rushes in and attempts to tackle, Selwood gets his usual free for high contact and can then exit the square without touching the ball onto his boot.
