Quote Hugh Janus="Hugh Janus"Can anyone answer the following (after a disagreement at an U16s game this morning).
Bomb goes up on last tackle - defender comes in and jumps to catch the ball.
His arms and hands miss it - but it bounces forward off his chest.
Is this a Knock-On ?'"
No, there was a championship game a season or two ago where the stand off passed the ball out wide, the player who should have caught the ball mis-timed his run and ran straight into the ball, chesting it forward. The ball bounced through the defensive line and the attacking player then grounded the ball. Given T R Y. Im guessing this is in the same category in regards to is it, isnt it a knock on.
