How is this NOT a forward pass?

[attila_the_gorilla]

At 0:16, from Pearce to the centre.

I know a lot of these are let go, refs are especially unlikely to call them in such a tight situation, but strictly by the rules, this must be a forward pass, innit?

Otherwise I might need to see an optometrist.

I've seen worse let go, and less called back.... Meh.... History..

Get Gallop on the phone, the result MUST be reversed

Borderline....play on.

Best bet you go see your optometerist.
Then quit your bitching before you start sounding too much like Farar!

How the hell is that meant to be a forward pass? It was a normal rugby league pass with two players running with momentum side by side... what a fruitcake whoever put that in the vid LOL

edit: actually that was you.. I think you need to visit OPSM

Can't be a forward pass. The guy throwing it isn't wearing a Red V.

 

[Tigger Madness]

Didint look forward to me...

 

[RugbyHighlights]

He threw it flat, it travleled forward.

Doesn't matter where it travels, it's how you throw it.

Looked okay to me.

Note how Pearce is still in front of Linnett when the latter catches the pass. So the ball is always behind Pearce until the pass is complete.

You better make an appointment with the optomertrist quick smart!

 

[gronkathon]

Thank you for providing me a nice clear video of one of my favourite Rugby League moments ever.

 

[carcharias]

dunno about the pass...but the kick was a screamer...right thru the sticks with about 3 seconds to go.

Had this come from Hornby there would be a chorus of Raiders supporters calling it forward.
