You might run into a problem with C08 there.

<blue box>C08 does not apply for strategies consistent with standard gameplay, e.g. contacting an opponent while in your RETRIEVAL ZONE to retrieve GAME PIECES. C08 requires an intentional act with limited or no opportunity for the TEAM being acted on to avoid the penalty, e.g. pinning an opponent in your KEY such that they cannot help but violate G17.</blue box>

If you push me into your RZ and it's clear I can't avoid being pushed there, you should draw a C08 foul for forcing me to draw a foul that I otherwise wouldn't have.
