You can't knock the ball on with your torso, same as if the ball hits you in head. The only reason people are calling it a wrong call is based on the commentary, certainly not on the rulebook. The rulebook states it is a try, and it was correctly awarded

1 thing did surprise me with Brisbane's game, and that was the lack of set play moves used. May be down to a couple of guys being out, but they have been very effective this year for them, today bombing looked like the only option to score

LOL, Twigg, 1 of the funniest things I have ever read on here, is your call that Channel 9 wouldn't allow Golden Point :lol::lol::lol: I was paying reasonably close attention, but I must admit to missing the part where the Channel 9 director ran onto the field and told Parker to miss the goal :lol:

Game Over.

lol

Deadset Lyon's the only one playing

Sad but true, and that goes for both sides.

that second lyon try is such an awful rule

I agree 100% such a stupid rule, but im happy with it today

Did you watch the Storm game? Outside of Lyon, they couldn't put a man across a gap as big as the nallarbor plains.

Well there ya go. Lyon managed to win it all by himself. Top notch stuff Jamie!!!

Ok first, his torso touches the ball while it is in mid-air, then he lands on it with his hip. That's a knock on. Even the commentators were like wtf.

NO.. ITS NOT! :crazy:

I didn't say Channel 9 didn't allow golden point. I was refering to the fact that it was 5:57pm and thought there was no way they would delay the news by about 12 mins or more so therefore he must have missed it since the game is delayed in NSW. There's a whole topic on it.

Simple solution here sunshine. Stop watching the clock for the news. Or better yet, get on a plane and go to the game.

Because commentators are always right :roll:. By the rules it was a try, whether it should be in the rules is a different matter but that is not a decision which costs brisbane.

 

[Tommax25]

Take away the knock on try from Lyon, and the Bani forward pass try and it's a different story.

Still you can't play that sh*t in the 2nd half and expect to win a match.

Why take that try away from lyon when it wasnt a knockon?

That said I am shocked that brisbane let that lead slip/manly fought back into it. Thought it was game over at 16-0.

The rulebook states that to be able to give a try grounded by the torso, the ball must be on the ground first. This one wasn't.

No Try.

i agree with Twigg 100% the whole game was fcked by stupid calls during the whole match. Lyons try is a no try for all money and i dont care bout wat the fken rules say cause thats not how you score tries in rugby league. You use your hands and arms to score tries not your fcken torso. Its a discrace to rugby league and that single call cost the broncos a win and 2 competition points. Secondly bani's try was forward and lyons third try shouldnt of been a try. those three calls changed the match and even tho the broncos played terrable in the second half they did enough to win the game. also there were other calls in the game that when manly's way for example when we got penalised for using our head in the tackle but when manly used a closed fist and hand pushing wallaces head into the gorund that wasnt called a penalty.

Geez all this cary on after a loss. Sides get bad calls every week and Brisbane have more than their fare share of good ones along the way. Even yesterday in Brisbanes first try Lockyer was infront of the kicker and interferred with the defender prior to Clinton forcing the ball. Referee didn't refer it up stairs and the try was awarded. Good on the ref for making a call, but had it have been reffered big chance not a try.
The forward pass to Bani was forward but I recken we would be in the thousands for last passes that have been forward and in the end been awarded, so every week you win some and you loose some. There was probably 5 or 6 passes in that game that were forward that I can remeber from both sides that were let go, including in the lead up to some of the try's.

I think Lockyer and Henjack maybe looking for excuses and someone else to blame for blowing a 16-0 lead against a team that so far have struggled to beat an egg!

No Try.

In contrast the rulebook also states that you can't knock the ball on with anything other than your hands or arms

The ball didn't make it's way to the ground in any illegal way, therefore there is no reason for it not to be a try, as knock on can't be called according to the rulebook
