7-5-7 has not been superceded and neither has 7-5-3. I do not believe that the we should take away the privilige of running the endline. By not giving the endline it gives the offening team a distinct advantage. That's why they added that a few years ago.
My guess is once again the rules writers wrote something and screwed it up. If you read the comments on the rules 7-5-5 was added makes the penalty consistent for team control and player control fouls.. The comments specificall state that rule only applies when the team is in control, and that there is no team control during a throwin, jump ball, or when ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal.
Based on the comments this does not apply to a scored field goal when there is a foul by a scoring team not in control of the ball
I will state that Chuck is right and I stand by that. Sorry
