lol I think I'll provide a freeze frame of Tapine just before he stripped the ball to prove that he didn't
Link to the video in this article.Is this legitimately what he said or is his a joke
Got the corresponding video from that point on, or the next 10 frames?
haha you've got to be kidding right? Show the next couple of frames and you will see that Milford doesn't maintain full control over the ball and has it touch the ground.Milford didn't knock on. For a knock on to occur, the ball needs to be propelled forward towards the opposition goal line from the hands. If the ball comes off one hand, and is gathered by the other hand before it touches the ground, it's not a knock on.
We can see from the image that Milford has both hands on the ball before the ball touches the ground. This negates a knock on.
Don't let the rules stop you all from having melt downs though, LOL.

Conclusive evidence that Ben Hunt didn't drop that ball in the grand final. Note smiling face
Hahaha.
Even if the next frame shows the ball hitting the ground, it's not a knock on because both hands are touching the ball when it hits the ground. It'd be just like touching the ball to the ground with it gripped it both hands - not a knock on.
It was more about the constant Broncos bashing on here and the very double standards of this site in regards to it. It still shows in here which is why I was unsure about posting, but since my self imposed ban from here and not taking footy with anyone but friends, I must admit to enjoying the game more, so take this however you want ( I know how you will, you lot are so predictable ).
My honest take is on first look Milford catches the ball, on second look with slow motion he drops it, should have been a knock on.
The Moga try, fair try, if you are going to let players take an extended period of time to get the ball down then this will happen. When Hess scored against the Broncos he was held for longer than Milford, again if you set the bar to one point, it has to apply to all in the same situation time wise. Personally neither the Hess or Moga try should have been awarded, but the standard was set with Hess and countless before it so fair enough on the Moga try.
I notice no mention of the dodgy call on Souths first try, no way the Souths player is going for the ball, he had no eyes on the ball, he was there to distract and take out, but hey that's ok it's against the Broncos. Take away Souths dodgy first try and Milford's drop goal, Broncos win by 6.
I watched my side get ripped against the Cowboys and raped by the refs ( but but Broncos get all the calls ) against the Storm to hand us two losses we deserved to win, but I bet all was fine there right, don't even have to check I know the answer. So do I feel sorry right now for the Milford knock on? Nope, you all can EAD, and seeing as we got Jack Bird and Kodi looks like he'll fill Hunts place nicely you can do it with a side of Chocolate Salty Balls.....
Later Bitches ... you can resume the Broncos bashing circle jerk cry fest... seeya maybe in 12 months... maybe if I wanna laugh.
of course he didn'tI've just proven with this photo that Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't JFK's killer.
As you can clearly see it shows him not shooting JFK.
