Quote: Call Me God "No it isn't. He may have attempted to throw the ball backwards but he lost full control, a fact underlined by it being a crap pass.........he may have intended it to go backwards, but it certainly didn't.
As for throwing a tennis ball, rugby ball, tin can or your aunt fanny's cat out of a moving car window, it matters little......the ball bounced 4 meters ahead of where he let go of it and he had slowed down considerably before he threw it......momentum or not, the ball went forward by a large distance that disadvantaged the defending side and therefore should have been referred upstairs as a minimum.
As I have said, London didn't lose because of this decision, but Leeds may well stay up as a consequence.'"
The ball was still behind him when it landed, it was also a shorter distance ahead of Watkins when it landed than when he threw it, so either he slowed down, threw it and then sped up whilst Watkins suddenly found a burst of speed he's not had all season and accelerated 60 metres into his run OR he threw it backwards and you have zero understanding of how any of this works.
Either post a picture that shows the ball leaving his hands forward or stop saying he 'certainly' threw it forwards.
How can people who have watched this much rugby league still not understand how this works?
