Ricketsons Pass off the Ground

[snorta69]

Lets for 1 minute forget that i hate your club. and talk football. If that is at all possible with most of you.

If Ricketsons pass which was given the green light is allowed to continue, should coaches instruct there players to Flop on top of players in fear of a offload that may lead to a try ?

The rule may state the arm carrying the ball blah , blah, blah, but that should only be for a Tryline decision.

If Rickos pass is allowed then Flops must also be allowed.

Right or Wrong ??

Why dont you forget for 1min, that yes you do hate Easts, and tell us why you havent started a campagin to eradicate Kidwell and his knees from the game??
You would if it was Morley or any other Rooster.
After what Williams did, what is doing in Melbourne??
What was different to Bird??

Why dont you ask real questions about the game??
Not the Anti-Easts crap you imagine every waking moment.

Why don't people just stop nit picking the Roosters all the time and try looking at all the other teams who do excactly the same things and nothing is said about it :twisted: :twisted:

StGillaman,

Ricketson commenced the passing motion before hitting the ground and at no stage did his arm touch the ground. Had he commenced the pass after being held (already on the ground with no further momentum) or had his arm touched the ground at any stage it would have been a penalty to Melbourne.

Who's the dildo?... this is the rule as posted on the other thread you started on this:

A player in possession is tackled:-
(a) When he is held by one or more opposing players and the ball or the hand or arm holding the ball comes into contact with the ground.
(b) When he is held by one or more opposing players in such a manner that he can make no further progress and cannot part with the ball.
(c) When, being held by an opponent, the tackled player makes it evident that he has succumbed to the tackle and wishes to be released in order to play the ball
(d) When he is lying on the ground and an opponent places a hand on him.

None of these applied so play on.

I don't see any mention of this only applies for a tryline decision.

You disagree with the rule - fine. But go cry a river somewhere else.

READ d) from those rules , For Gods sake you guys hang at the wall way too much. :roll: :roll: :roll:

He wasn't lying on the ground waiting for someone to put a hand on him, he was falling and his forward movement hadn't stopped, therefore he could play on.

Chook.
