A little curious about a rule and figured someone here could answer..
Hunt kicks it dead in-goal.
Bulldogs get a 7 tackle set from the 20 and immediately kicks it out.
It's not a dropout going into touch, It's not a 40/20.
Why is that a Bulldogs scrum?

It's an optional restart. They can kick it and get the ball back where it goes out, as long as it bounces before it goes out.
That's what it means when commentators say optional restart at the 20.

Wasn't there a new 40 metre rule or something?

From a 20 metre tap you're allowed to kick for touch, if you make touch, you get the scrum feed. Teams rarely do it though because it's super risky and you get a 7 tackle set from the 20 anyway.

It wasn't. The refs were once again unwilling to accept they fucked up and let play resume as if nobody would notice. Absolute deadshit refereeing.
EDIT: If that is an actual legal rule, it is stupid as hell.

Bennett still had his doubts in 1992 and it wasn't until a late match against the Panthers, in penrith, when the Broncos won in a tight match in poor conditions and in a match the Panthers needed to win to keep their finals chances alive, the type of match the Broncos were known to lose. Sure it was a grind fest but the top teams need to win those as well, you need to know you can handle the arm wrestles as well.
The ball is in our court to a top 4 position, I would be disappointed to lose it now.

When you consider that both of their tries were dubious at best, our defensive effort was great.

Yeah absolutely but go back to the Storm game and then tonight against a team desperately needing to win with their run home and we never really looked like we were going down. Pretty impressive stuff.

It's been a rule for as long as I remember, in fact, Brent Sherwin was someone who was known for doing it regularly. That's why it's an optional 20m restart.

Robbie Farah does it every now and then, as well.
