spoiler alert - forward passes

[Different kind of Rabbit]

I've seen worse let go and better called back. It was a marginal call and it went Souths way. The double movement call was worse IMO.

 

[hutch]

Those frames prove the ball actually went forward by a couple of metres, but yeah, I've seen thousand balls like that let go in the past.

IMO, the whole floating forward with momentum rule is stupid, if it goes forward it goes forward. We let enough flat balls go as it is which is fine. Does anyone know how he actual rules are worded?

 

[beave]

sigh..............it's not stupid. Because morons like BM think that if you are running and pass a ball on say the 10m line and the pass has some distance to travel, and the guy who catches the ball is over the 10m line, then it has to be forward.............................. but it's not.

Next time you're in a car throw something out the window backwards, and see if it lands in front of where you threw it.

You may be surprised.

One can't help but think of a certain Parramatta pass against Manly last season.....

Only difference is that left the hands forward and never got pulled up, this left the hands backwards and got pulled up.

Time to get the educational video out again for BunniesMan...

has anyone got the link to that vid????

That's my point.

We've scored 19 or more points every game so far...after this round we'll have 2nd or 3rd most point scored. It's not like we're the Dragons or Eels or Titans.

they're also going to be 1st in points conceded with 86 now thats pretty exciting. So actually souths are very much like the titans, well in defence anyway because they will be 2nd on 80 after this round

 

[Nemesis]

Get ovet it... you'd think this was the first time a try has been disallowed off a forward pass. Even the Eels captain admitted that it was forward in the post match press conference. Harden up ffs.

 

[adamkungl]

It was a forward pass, even the Parra captain said so in the press conference.

bullsh*t, take a look at the pics/video above. Until Hayne stopped because of the hit, he was in front of the receiver the whole time.

It's basic physics. You have to pass the ball backwards in relation to yourself, not in relation to the field. If you're running at 8m/s, and throw a long flat ball, it is going to continue travelling forward at 8m/s, looking horribly forward when it is in fact fine. Even thrown slightly backwards it is going to travel a fair bit forward in relation to the field.

You have to look at the direction it travels from the player. Look at where the passer and receiver are standing. Ignore the line markings.

 

[beave]

the only time the lines on the field should be used in reference for forward passes is when the pass is from dummy half and the dummy half has passed from the ground straight away and not run forward at all.

Decisions tend to even out over the season dude..... swings and roundabouts. Although I suspect you spend most of your time on the swings.

 

[BunniesMan]

Your bullsh*t float theory is BS because Hayne wasn't running forward ffs, he was running sideways and how the f**k do you experts to know which way it left his hands?

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming this for Parra losing, they were f**king incompetent in the second half. I don't like how forward passes are the only thing that can't be reviewed on the video. It makes no sense.

As for swings and roundabouts, what was your opinion on the penalty which led to the final try in the Roosters v Souths game last year?

You don't have to be moving that fast for it to occur. As someone else said, the only time the lines are a good indication is for the dummy half passes where the player is standing still.

We get it, you're an idiot - why do you always drag the point out so much?

 

[God-King Dean]

Physics, schmizics.

And how would a video review of that changed anything? How is the video ref supposed to decide which way it went out of the hands when it's impossible to tell. The ref has a 1000 times better view than anyone sitting at home watching it on tv.

I'm not saying balls can't be caught further up field from where they were passed without it being an illegal pass. I'm say it didn't happen here.

Hayne wasn't running forward for one.

And everyone's calling me an idiot when it's all of you saying you know which way it went from his hands when you dont know sh*t.
