  I thought there was enough to show some part of the ball would have touched the ground (benefit of the doubt)
  
  The ball bounced. If that was a penalty then if you jump to take a pass and get tackled it would be a penalty.
  
  I think refs have been fair so far.

    Surely it's still a penalty. We can train so that with every hit up you jump in to the defenders and every tackle then becomes a penalty for tackling in the air. What a spectacle it'd be.

  1 he grounded the ball
  
  2 tackled in the air rule is only if catching on full

  Beat me to it coco. He grounded it for sure and by Ryan's logic, all you need to do is jump in the air just before contact during a hit up and you deserve a penalty.

  He definately grounded the ball. And the kick was caught on the bounce. Learn the rules

    Results going well for us so far this weekend. Just need the warriors to lose and us to win and we become likely semi finalists this year.

  I bet $50 that we only win the penalty v Raiders.
  They hate ricky too !

    Absolutely. That sin-binning was a shocker of a call. The no knock on may be by the rule, but fails the common sense test.
    If it costs the broncos the game they've a right to be filthy.

    They certainly changed the rules so you can't ground the ball with your chest or stomach to score a try. The knock on rule I'm not sure about....
