The scrum half is the forward who can be found in the second and threerd rows.
The "creative unit", or scrum half, of rugby league is called the scrum.
The scrum half is the smallest player on the field. He plays an important part in the team's attack. He decides when and how the team will kick it. He also ensures that other players are available to make attacking moves. Referees can penalize scrum half players who fail to follow these instructions.
The loose forward is in the third row (last) of scrum.
The scrum loose forward is a member the forward group. His main goal is to catch the ball and advance it to the opponent. He can also hold onto the ball during a scrum using his feet. When the ball is released from the scrum, the player must stop gaining any ground.
The try is the most common form of scoring in rugby league
Points can be scored by a team when they score a try or convert a try into an entire point. A player carrying the ball over the opposition try line earns a try. You can score extra points if you successfully push the ball against an upright. This attempt can be made quickly or uncontested, and it is worth two points if successful.

FAQ
Do extreme sports require expensive equipment?

From where do extreme sports originate?
Parachuting was one of the earliest extreme sports. Parachuting became popular during World War II. The 1942 parachute jump was the first.
Parachutists jump from planes and gliders. They flew fast down to the earth. They then opened the parachutes.
Parachute jumps were dangerous. Many parachutists lost their lives during these events. Paragliding gained popularity after the war.
1948 saw the first paraglider pilot fly near Lake Garda. Paragliding continues to gain popularity. Paragliding is now enjoyed by thousands each year.
Para-gliding is a different sport than parachuting. Para-gliders do not land on the ground. They land on water.
What happens if someone falls off a cliff while doing extreme sports?
If you fall off a cliff while participating in extreme sports, you might break bones or even your neck.
This injury could be fatal. Falling from a height above 30 meters (100 feet) could result in your death.
What is the difference between parachuting and parasailing?
Para-gliding is a form of flying above ground using a harness and a small sail. The harness allows you to fly. It will keep you safe when you are falling through the sky.
To fly, you don't require any special equipment. You simply attach yourself to the sail. Then you go off. As you gain altitude, the wind pushes against the sail. This helps to lift your spirits.
As you glide along, your momentum keeps you moving forward. Your momentum propels you forward until you reach its end. You release your grip at that point and return to the earth.
If you're ready, reattach your sail.
Parasailing has been growing rapidly. In 2013, parasailing was enjoyed by more than 1 million people. This is nearly double the amount who did it in 2008.
