2019 R5 Sat - Knights 18-26 Sea Eagles @ McDonald Jones

[mave]

Wait for it.... Penalty Knights!!

 

[eagles4eva]

another few penalties for the knight and they'll easily get home

 

[CliffyIsGod]

The refs are hopeless. Dud call after did call.

 

[OzDragon]

The ball did though. I’ll have to check the rules on that one.

I was always under the assumption that the arm has to touch the ground for it to be considered a complete tackle. Doesn’t matter if the ball does or doesn’t.

 

[t-ba]

Take the two.

Elliot was so surprised he poked his head through he almost stopped. Pin your ears back son, back yourself.

He nearly backed himself, but then he remembered he’s Brendan Elliot and thought better of it.

From the NRL Laws and interpretations

Double Movement - A try will be awarded if: ‘a tackled player’s momentum carries him into the opponents’ in-goal where he grounds the ball even if the ball has first touched the ground in the field of play

In the process of scoring a try a player in possession must not promote the ball from the position the ball has been grounded. If the momentum of the player in possession carries him into the opponents in goal area, it will not be a double movement if the ball would have finished over the goal line regardless of any subsequent movement of the ball or the arm carrying the ball.

I may not understand the rule but i saw the ball move twice with defenders on him so i think that constitutes a double movement.

Since there was no forward momentum it is no try. Clear as day

Too many times Watson comes up with a play to remind you why Robinson let him go without much of a fight.

Cheers mate.
You learn something new every day.

He promoted it so it wasn't momentum but was he actually held?

 

[skeepe]

I was always under the assumption that the arm has to touch the ground for it to be considered a complete tackle. Doesn’t matter if the ball does or doesn’t.

Nope. Ball counts. Section 11 of the rules:

2. A player in possession is tackled:

a) when he is held by one or more opposing players and the ball or the hand or arm holding the ball comes into contact with the ground.

Additionally in section 11:

When an attacking player is tackled within easy reach of the goal line he should be penalised if he makes a second movement to place the ball over, or on, the line for a try.

By the rule book, it’s a clear no try.

Yep, tend to agree. There was no momentum involved.

 

[skeepe]

How far forward was Edrick Lee’s pass?

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Eldrick went out there surely
