The law states clearly with no interpretation required. Check the link I gave earlier. Bottom of page 15 for the dfinition of prior opportunity. Bottom of page 52 for holding the ball.

Without prior oppoetunity, the player just needs only to make a legitimate effort effort to dispose of the ball. If the player,

The only person who needs convincing of that is the ump and as long as there's sport, thwre will be playets teying to trick thwm. "Waving a fist somewhere near the ball" so to speak.

If memory serves, it was brought in like this to encourage the player to be first to the ball and to make the play rather than reward the player sitting off the play, waitinf ro make the easy tackle. It isn't perfect but I think it is preferable this way

- Depends if you've had prior opportunity or not. -- Pendlebury, 15:43 30/03/25 Sun
  - I think it's stupid way to interpret the original rule. Like giving kids awards for trying. (NT) -- Rodda83, 11:23 31/03/25 Mon
