Are you sure ? Trying to take my raiders bias off but I thought it was specifically outlawed to push a teammate in a try scoring situation.

Yep. Almost positive. SBW did it in 2014 iirc and it was penalised because the force was applied to the defender directly. Same again in our game against Parramatta last year.

You can "lend weight" to stop your teammate losing ground but james essentially turned it into a rugby union like drive.

Like i said we had a try taken off us last year when wighton drove croker over the line (or the other way around).

Edit

Im not going to chuck a fit over it. I was just curious about the rule

Ah I remember the one. It was Croker driving Wighton over the line and Croker got penalised for exactly what James did.

I think you will find Wighton made direct contact with the defender when driving Croker over the line. That is the only thing that matters.

Find it for me and we'll work it out. I'm happy to be proven wrong but like I said, I'm almost positive that's how it is.

I cant specifically remember the game it was in lol. It might have been the game against the titans on the gc last year ?

Also we are so idiotic. It's actually more frustrating to support this side than the terrible one in 2013

Also that should have been held because wighton was lending his weight to stop rapana going backwards :stuck_out_tongue:
