2017 R19 Sat - Knights 22-34 Broncos @ McDonald Jones

[Tommy Smith]

He definitely didn't play at that, but was unaware that was a thing when it touched hands.

That's the thing - I didn't know it mattered if they played at it or not.

What about all the balls that get knocked down by a defender in a tackling motion but not played at? They're always ruled knock ons so how is that any different?

So no different when the ball hits a defender trying to make a tackle, they don't know where the ball is, yet it is always classed as a knock on.

 

[TheVelourFog]

so it isn't a knock-on if you don't play at it

new rule going forward

I guess in that case they are making a play at the player at least.

On the flip side, how is it different to a charge down which is allowed off the hands?

 

[Lebbo73]

Wtf is that shit?

How is that not a knock on?

How was it a knock on? He didn't play at it. A rule that has been around for nearly 30 years.

 

[Noname36]

Moga is destroying Gagai.

Mixed feelings.

 

[Smack]

imagine being a knights fan

 

[user_nat]

Wtf was Thaiday doing.

 

[macavity]

Enjoy that defence Souths

Unless you're tackling a player and the ball hits your arm

Gagai:

Superman in a Maroons jersey.

Bat Girl in a Knights jersey.

 

[GongPanther]

Why the poor crowd? Did the groundsman remember to padlock those big exit gates?

 

[Shorty]

Ugh.

 

[Zadar]

Same way when a tackler doesn't play at the ball, it's classed as a knock on, bit simple for a Queenslander I suppose.

I still think we're on the improve.

They're just really young and do really stupid shit. You get used to it.

 

[Bronco18]

So no different when the ball hits a defender trying to make a tackle, they don't know where the ball is, yet it is always classed as a knock on.

That interpretation started around 09 and is bullshit for mine but was put in so refs would've have to do their job and evaluate the contact on the ball in a tackle attempt.

What Roberts did there is and has always been the interpretation off kicks.

 

[The_Shield]

Bunker making up rules to suit itself. If it touches the arm it's a knock on, regardless of whether he was playing at it or not.

 

[Bowzy]

Amazing how one rubbish call can change the whole game. Knights completely dropped their head now.

 

[Jason Maher]

Typical Brisbane just fling the ball around randomly and the ball miraculously finds a team mate every time.

 

[Noname36]

I hope the Souths fans crowing about signing Gagai are watching this. This is classic Gags when given any more responsibility than being on the wing.
