Quote: easthullwesty "So crossing isn't a rule? Which is why both Hull and Catalans were penalised for it during that very match? Also, where you pass the ball in the defensive line is a key part of the obstruction rule which is why they often slow down the play to see that the ball was passed by the man before he runs behind the runner. Running behind your own guy is crossing and you cant do it. I think it should have been a try, but to simply dismiss rules to suit your own agenda is ridiculous.'"
No, crossing isn't a rule, obstruction is a rule. Fans incorrectly shout crossing all the time because they don't understand the rules. The same as when they shout 'shoulder charge' because they think its the same interpretation as union (no arms). No agenda, it doesn't matter to me whether Catalans or Hull FC won, just bothers me that there's such a difference between the fans understanding of the rules, and the actual rules.
