T Rex Knock/Forward Pass

Posted by JEELman on June 13, 2016 at 6:44pm

Can't believe what I just saw. So the Bunker will allow a player to pass the ball from one hand to the another then knock it over the defence to score a legit try.

That's a painful way to loose, I mean lose.

Shocking decision that sets a dangerous precedent. I think the word deliberate is in the rule somewhere but at the end of the day he deliberately passed it and it went forward. You can't go around saying he didn't mean to pass it forward because you can't see into a players brain when he makes a play. I could never understand why words like deliberate were used in rules.

You watch the NRL go into damage control over this ruling.

Sorry but that didnt have an impact on the game when the dogs won by more then 3 converted trys

Same thing happened to Hayne couple of years ago. Called a no try.

  And Jamie Lyon next round and they said try.

If he moves it forward and regathers it is allowable, as long as it wasnt touched by an opposing player. All good.

  No it's not you can't push a ball forward deliberately

  Agree with speedy, it wasnt deliberately pushed forward, it was unfortunate but regathered. Technically it was a forward pass since it didn't go to another player and it wasn't a knock on since trex regathered it.

  Technically it wasn't forward*

Changed the whole game, it was 1 try a piece before that play and dogs seemed to just be running through the motions whilst dragons were coming home strong. Terrible decision
