How is this NOT a forward pass?

And the pass was fine.

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

Welcome, feel free to subscribe to me channel. Awesom finish, that pass was not the reason I uploaded it, I just made a note of it cos people were oblivious to the fact. A few more videos up there, check them out.

Just listening to the crowd roar when they've realised its gone over is amazing

A visit to OPSM is in order I think.

Because it wasnt a forward pass as obviously you have your eyes painted on to think otherwise

How on earth could it ever occur to anyone that the highlighted pass was forward? Thread fail.

Wow I'm speechless. Didn't expect this mass denial about a simple forward pass. What's the big deal? I just pointed it out as a curiosity, but the lack of attention to detail on here is mind boggling.

It's because it only matters the direction the ball is travelling when it leaves your hands, not where it ends up.

For example, if you're running down a field and throw a ball flat, it'll still travel forward, in relation to where it left your hands.

The pass in your video travelled forward. The questions whether it was thrown forwards? I think you'd be pretty biased to say it did. Looked flat at worst to me. Passes like that happen 50 times a game.

They covered the issue on the Roast last year actually. If you email Vossy they might bring it up again and explain it better

I am perfectly aware of how momentum works when you throw a flat pass while running forward at speed. But Pearce was moving almost sideways, and it was a relatively short ball anyway. It came out of the hand forward.

I have no problem with it not called, because many forward passes are let go, but wanted to note it as a curiosity.

Even if it was marginal(i don't think it was). You could find tons of balls like that in the same game, for and against the roosters.

I can understand Tigers fans being unhappy with the Tackle and Scrum situation. But that really was nothing.

I was rooting for the Tigers too, the Warriors are out on the back of that game. :crazy:
