I dont see how they cant use the video ref for forward passes. In the nfl they can put a computerised straight line across the pitch for the first down marker so surely they could do the same at sky. E.g put a yellow line when the ball leaves the hands of the player passing the ball play the video until the next player catchs the ball and put a red line there across the pitch. Easy to see if its forward or not.

I understand they dont want to slow the game down by going to video ref all the time but something has to be done as its really getting out of hand lately.

The only problem would be the refs interpretation of how far back in play they go back with the video in the whole build up to the try?

I find it funny they say they can't rule on forward passes yet they can for offside Isn't the catcher of a forward pass in an offside position? (and dont start with all that $hite about the ball travelling forward in relation to the ground.....if it heads towards your own posts it's forward)

Its the whole point that if you throw a ball when running it won't neccasarily go backwards from where it was thrown even though you have thrown it backwards.

FFS

No one has got their protractors and compasses out. If the ball is thrown towards your own posts its backwards. If it's thrown towards your opponents try line it's forward. Stop trying to be clever

Exactly

Becuase everything else in Leeds is backward

I saw that as well, horrible, I am sure nothing will come of it, Leeds cant have 2 players banned in a week surely? Also like how the Sky team really did not say a thing about it to make sure that it didnt have attention drawn to it!

it was mentioned that there was another forward pass (by ableet iirc) in the build up to another one of there tries.

paul mcshane showed himself up as a little last night, getting up and shoving players after scoring then giving elima that dig with the forearm.

He's obviously filling in for a player i've never heard of and i'm not feared of who may or may not be suspended this week.

It was terrible wasn't it. Leeds should be banned from SL then there would never be a forward pass to worry about ever again in the top flight of RL

its nice to see after a troubled start to the season that leeds have knuckled down, and worked hard to get the forward pass working for them again.

it was upsetting the other weeks watching them actually get pulled up for them.
