It's the rule that shows that even when the NRL says they got the decision right, they actually got it wrong. But it proves they were right about one thing: no matter what happened after referee Ben Cummins signalled six again someone was always going to be on the end of a wrong call.

While some trainers aren't meant to be on the field after the fourth tackle, medical trainers - which the Sydney Roosters' Travis Touma was - can. That's why he was struck by the ball after Luke Keary's kick cannoned off Sia Soliola's head and into him - denying the Raiders a try-scoring opportunity in the third minute.
