If Feldt knocked on why did they look at Thuston grounding fifty times?
Because that isn't what they ruled. The tweet was from about 45 mins - 1 hr after the decision (looking at other tweets, they seem to be about 10-15 mins after the decision), and they deleted an earlier tweet about it.
They are covering up their mistake after they saw the picture of Eden touching the ball while he is out.
Thurston's was a no try for not 1, not 2 but 3 reasons.
1. Feldt knocked it on and that is what the bunker called thus the restart if green is wondering. Couldn't care less if he propelled it backwards into his leg and then it went forward. That is a knock on all day in general play and sanity prevailed here.
2. The broncs player touched ball from outside the field of play
3. Tburston knocked it on. It was as clear as day abd that "all round good bloke JT saying otherwise is a complete lie.
I feel a touch more sorry for them re: the obstruction call. No way that player was going to get there but that is unfortunately how they call it nowadays.
Dropping the ball and having it roll down their body is not the same as tapping it back into their own leg. Tapping it back is not a knock on in any circumstances.
