The avuncular one
Hypothetical question posed by a work colleague which got me thinking.
A team with a bare 7 players have a man go down injured clutching his head and you stop the game so he can get treatment. He then leaves the fop as per lotg.
Scenarios:
1) he is obviously okay after a quick bit of sponge action and requests you wave him back on as soon as the game restarts
2) it is not clear that he will be coming back on, has a cut to be sorted out before he would be ready anyway.
The lotg state the game cannot continue if a team has fewer than 7 players, does he still count towards the 7 if he is not on the fop but hasn't been taken off?
Got me thinking. Thoughts?
