Rubbish, he played at the ball. His hand hit the ball flush and knocked it clean out lol

Defenders hands hit the ball flush and knock it out all the time, that has not been overturned all season. Generally you only get overturns for a stripping motion, not just hard initial contact on the ball.

So frustrating I actually think tigers are playing ok but playing a team who's defence is really good. Attack been better than most games forwards are making good contact but being let down by Brooks poor kicking and Marshall's touch football.

If a defender hits the ball while tackling and it goes over the sideline it's considered played at by the defender for the benefit of the scrum

He definitely knocked the ball out. What I don't understand is how you can be "playing at the ball" if Benji passes that and Manu knocks it away in the act of making a tackle, but "just making a tackle" if you knock it out of his hand like that.

I totally agree that the ‘every pass is played at’ interpretation is ridiculous, nevertheless these interpretations have been around for a while and the Manu/Marshall one was perfectly explicable

Nofo is an absolute smug merkin.

Pass hits him on the chest if he holds his wing position.

Carries on like he was going to dance around thirteen blokes and score.

He’s a flog.

Only if the attacker is in the act of passing. This year it has been called as not played at if it is a simple tackle and the ball pops out
