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.

And you can throw it towards your own posts but it will still travel toward the opponents' posts, relative to the ground, because of the momentum imparted to it by your own forward movement. But it's a legal backward pass. That's not 'clever' - its basic common sense.



Where's Senior junior, a warehouse corridor and a rolled up bunch of clothes when you need him?

I agree on the rule. Not going to use Stevo's 'momentum' explanation, they have a better idea of it in Australia. However, Webb's pass was forward. Before he tipped the ball on, he had stopped dead. Hence being forward. So Leeds get away with one, which probably won them the game in the end. Wakeytom, I think every side are getting away with it, so put your dummy back in.

Every team gets away with forward passes.

But on a serious note, Where's the incentive for the players not to try dubious passes when the linesmen are so clearly incompetant and unwilling to call anything week in week out... ?

That will stuff up the game then as it will be impossible to pass the ball while moving forward.

While we are at it, shall we tell Newton that his laws of motion are a load of old balls and the people of Hull know best.

Idiot

Classic Leeds Rhinos

T1t

What a joke that Wigan pass just was

Not just Leeds then?

I never said it was just Leeds

Ha oh dear. Everyone knows that was a forward pass. I haven't seen much super league this year. Are there really as many forward passes not being called as they say?

No, just heavily implied it.
