2020 R4 Sat - Eels 19-16 Sea Eagles @ Bankwest

[skeepe]

Yes, it went backwards but surely you can understand why the touchie called it forward. He passed it backwards 2m before the line and the winger caught it on the line. It wasn’t a howler.

Touchies are trained to make the correct calls on those. Should never have happened.

That's not what constitutes a forward pass m8

 

[SBD82]

It's a good side.

Got Melbourne, the Roosters and the Eels out of the way now as well which is good.

I like the balance of the side. Although Fainu is a huge loss.

Not going to get carried away until I see how they fare against the might of Mary’s Dragons, but there are some good signs there.

Watch the video you clown.

i did...

Go find a mirror if you wanna see a real clown.

Moses: "it was a forward pass, I'm glad the refs got it right"

Lol f**k off

“I called 500 forward passes today and they finally got one right”

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Hahahaha f**k off Moses you gobshite. You are so full of shit you f**king maggot.

Please, someone punch him in the face. He’s crying out for it.

Our game is tomorrow Skeepe

Sought of evens up, the Dylan Walker try was a knock on

You're clearly blind but the first Parra try was rolled over the line, clear no try.

FMD the ball was thrown backwards, that is all that matters. End of story

I thought the ball was passed forward. It was obviously caught a long way forward of where it left the hand.
One could argue it was possibly flat out of the hands, but then add to that it did go forward a long way - all in all, it was an acceptable decision, probably the correct decision. We must accept that if players want to throw these borderline flat/forward passes that definitely go a long way forward then we just have to leave it up to the referees to decide. Which they did. Forward.

 

[SBD82]

The media will overhype this match but if viewed realistically, it tells a few truths about Parra. Manly were absolutely awful for most of that match, we're ridden by Cummins and ultimately robbed of victory. Currently, there's daylight between these 2 sides and Canberra/Roosters imo.

How many was that?

Then you're dumber than I thought.

Go learn physics again.

Croker showed more in 10 minutes than Levi showed in 70 minutes...Its time to punt him...

no. You’re wrong.

 

[Chook Norris]

I feel for the refs on this one.. I'd bet that 90% of people seeing that in fast motion would declare it was forward.

What's the solution to what has eternally be an issue?

Forward passes are difficult to rule on. Do we introduce video decisions on forward passes in try scoring situations (perhaps player challenges on it)?

Pretty clear it was backward based on review.

 

[leaguelover610]

Let's get rid of the proper touch judges and put referees on the line...good one V'landys ‍

It was definitely not thrown backwards. At best it was thrown flat. How anyone can say it was thrown backwards is beyond me.

Yeah, nah.

 

[Bazal]

I mean, I had a sneaky look after seeing the blow ups.

Definitely forward but see those let go often. Meh. We've been on the wrong end of hundreds of those over the years. Looked like a good game, keen to watch the recording.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

How many was that?

If I were a fisherman, I'd be having a cracking sesh!

Seriously though, let it go brother. I'm just enjoying my Rugba League.

People can say it was thrown backwards because... wait for it... are you ready.... it absolutely f**king was.

I would suggest you visit your nearest optometrist post haste, because your eyes are clearly not working properly.
