I can't find anything either here or in the main rugby league article that mentions passing in any detail.GordyB 22:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] touchdown?
Why is a try referred to as a "try or touchdown" in the point scoring section? In Australia it is never referred to as a touchdown. And I didn't think it ever was in Europe either. The next closest term I can think of is a "grounding", which refers to the downward pressure of the ball on the try-line or in-goal area rather than the point-scoring itself.
- I've heard it said but it's rather rare. 'Touchdown' means 'grounding' rather than 'try'. I'll edit it out.GordyB 09:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

- Worth a mention in the Comparison of American football and rugby league article I think. Ironically a "touchdown" doesn't involve touching the ball to the ground, yet a "try" does.--Jeff79 00:05, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
... why is there no metion of how many minutes there is per half and how long the half-time break is? Is a section on mini and mod league also required? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.176.49.87 (talk) 08:55, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Tackling
I'd like to see more detail on the tackle in rugby league in this article, perhaps even within its own sub-section. Information on what constitutes a tackle and what is legal/illegal seems spread about the article now. Tackling's a rather significant aspect of RL and this article has no mention of the illegality of tripping with the feet/legs, high-tackles, spear tackles, additional tacklers' "flopping", passing from a tackle, submitting a tackle, tackling ball-catchers in mid-air, etc. or the legality of jersey pulling, tripping with the hands, ball-runners' teammates assisting in a tackle, stealing the ball in one-on-one tackles, etc. --Jeff79 21:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- As it is quite technical, I think this could only be written by taking data from the actual laws and adapting it.GordyB 13:43, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] In-goal area
It's been my understanding that the size of the in-goal area is determined by the home side to either maximise their own competitive advantage or limit the visiting team's. Is this true? Or was it? Is it standardized now?--Jeff79 (talk) 02:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
