2016 R14 - MON - Dragons 16-34 Bulldogs @ ANZ

[Tommy Smith]

By the letter of the law it probably was a try.

But... the law is f**king wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong as that's just not a try.

I'd be filthy too if i was a Dragons fan. That just plain sucks and they'll probably fix the rule midweek.

 

[mxlegend99]

Well no because that would be deliberate. Penalty against you

How can you possibly know a players intent?. You cant know what a player is thinking unless he announces it before he does it.

 

[McLovin]

Really, the game was effectively lost and won on that call...

 

[Maximus]

Well no because that would be deliberate. Penalty against you

Can't prove that it is deliberate. I'm only doing exactly what T-Rex did.

 

[Owen Da Saints]

I'm sick and tired of refs controlling the score as well as the game !

 

[Ulysseus]

That just plain sucks and they'll probably fix the rule midweek.

Wouldn't be the first time that's been of no benefit to us.

 

[flamin]

From the NRL rules:
Knock-ons and Forward Passes

Deliberate 1. A player shall be penalised if he deliberately knocks on or passes forward.

Accidental 2. If, after knocking-on accidentally, the player knocking-on regains or kicks the ball before it touches the ground, a goal post, cross bar or an opponent, then play shall be allowed to proceed. Otherwise play shall stop and a scrum shall be formed except after the fifth play-the-ball.

I can remember Jarryd Hayne deliberately knocking a ball forward over the fullback's head when collecting a chip kick. It was correctly penalised.

 

[Card Shark]

[stormbati]

Benji standing in front of Havili there but wow that was a terrible pass

 

[Jason Maher]

The game was lost on the Mann no try. I knew that would swing momentum.

The Jarryd Hayne one somebody mentioned was obviously deliberate, he batted it over a defender. This one was pretty obviously unintentional...

When has it ever happened before?

So you want to change a rule that has probably never happened in the last 10 years for a try.

Next time someone juggles a pass, you are calling a knock-on?

 

[Maximus]

And if done right, mine would look unintentional as well. Patten just told every NRL player that they are free to hit the ball over the opposition's heads as long as they make it look unintentional.

 

[Dragon]

So unintentional forward passes should not and wont be pulled up from now on. Gotcha

It sets a precedent to 'accidentally' throw it over a player's head, to yourself. It's not that f**king hard to understand

Well mate, all I can say is I look forward to watching you pull it off in the NRL over the coming weeks....

 

[Owen Da Saints]

If that is a try, then why isn't the Tackler ever penalised for stopping the attacking player from regathering ?

 

[BM1979]

How can you possibly know a players intent?. You cant know what a player is thinking unless he announces it before he does it.

And the video ref cannot rule on forward passes.

 

[Snappy]

So you're making yourself look like a fool. Gotcha

 

[tomdl]

The pass was backwards. The rebound off his other hand was unintentionally propelled forward. How is that so hard to understand? There was no intentional or unintentional forward pass at all.
