There was also a rule that if the dummy half got tackled in possession it was a scrum with head and feed to the defending side. That should be brought back, but with a handover instead of a scrum.

I'd forgotten that one. That was when hookers were actually hookers, not halfbacks with a number 9 on their backs.

wally lewis gets my vote as the best player ever as he had absolutely everything

Edited for accuracy.

Best player is not the best term,maybe we should say rugby league legends.So it covers all positions.

In the 9s last season if the dummy half was tackled it was a handover and it worked really well.

when you ask someone 'who is the best player ever?'..... they can really only offer players up from their rugby life.... i cant think of a better player in my rugby league life than Ellery Hanley.... im 35 so i have been watching rugby since about 1992

Of the players i've seen in the flesh not on tv/video.........
