Quote: TheElectricGlidingWarrior "Actually, I said it was one of the most borderline examples of a forward pass I'd seen and that given video footage is unreliable it's somewhat silly of you to form an opinion that you are 100% certain of using video footage as a basis. But hey, if the media say it was forward it must be. '"
And as i explained, there are reasons why the VR isnt used, reasons not applicable in this case. You then explained your misunderstanding of momentum. It wasnt boderline. It wasnt even close. It was clearly forwa
Quote: TheElectricGlidingWarrior "Is the froth from your mouth dripping onto your keyboard or something? I assume that you're trying to say the forward pass affected the try and are just having a communication melt-down. If that's the case then I disagree, the pass was so borderline that the try would have been scored either way. Of course it's conjecture from both of us but I'm sure you'll insist you are factually 100% correct as indicated by your crystal ball (which, incidentally, I've hear they still use as a means of local authority governance round your way). My opinion, however, is based on the way Lima simply swatted opposition players away with ease when they really had a very good opportunity to tackle him. Nothing to do with the pass, just very poor tackling.'"
I dont disagree it was poor tackling. It doesnt affect the fact it was a forward pass and led directly to a try. By any logic this had more of an affect than an (possible) incorrect play the ball 2 tackles before a try was scored.

No he didnt. What criteria specifically for a play the ball wasnt met? As in what actually happened.
Quote: TheElectricGlidingWarrior "Oh the media said did they? Well, perhaps if you weren't so unfamiliar with Rugby League you could rely on your own knowledge and not the media. Here's a helpful pointer9 Touch & Touch InGoal
7. In all aspects of general play, a player who does not deliberately play at the ball (eg. ricochet or rebound) will not be disadvantaged by a consequent restart of play when the ball has gone dead or into touch.[/i'"
He played at the ball in exactly the same way Burrow did. Everybody else has seemed to understand this.
Quote: TheElectricGlidingWarrior "Ha ha, you really are putting a lot of effort into this sidetracking attempt aren't you? But just to put this to bed once and for all, what position did Tommy L play on Sat and what number did he have on his back? Now I predict that you'll either a) answer correctly and demonstrate my point quite nicely, or b) ignore the question which would indicate, using your own logic, that you have no Rugby League knowledge. So which is it?'"
What number did Mr Mcilorum wear? It doesnt alter the fact had your bias not affected your view you would have easily recognised one of the most famous number 9's in the world, wearing number 9.
