PLAYING OUR GAME
Physical Disability Rugby League has modified rules to enabling players of all ages and genders with a physical disability to play rugby league to play the game they love!
Modified Rules
Games are played under modified rules of ‘The Australian Rugby League Laws of the Game’.
How the game is played
The game is made up of two halves, each of twenty minutes and with a ten-minute interval.
As per NRL rules a Try will be worth 4 points and a Goal 2 points.
There are no scrums in the modified game.
An accidental knock on or drop ball is called as a tackle and at the completion of six tackles a change over applies.
Modified tackle
Players wear either Black or Red shorts.
Players wearing black shorts will play the standard NRL tackle rules.
Red shorts are for
- players whose condition makes them unable to “tackle” or be “tackled”,
- female players and
- players under the age of 16 years.
