Don't think so.I think you'll find that Clarkson knocks Roby's wrist rather than knocks the ball on.

We had the same. We lost Walker to injury (the nose break) and we didn't see Savelio in the second half.

No chance, Watch it again. Ive watched the full game 5 times already ( i love a good win on Sky Sports ).

Sky did it in a replay and we were onside.

So have I in super zoom too!

What did that Makinson winning try look like in super zoom ? I don't have it on mine.

I think the issue was not whether it was deliberate/accidental or kick/no kick, but rather the fact that it went backwards off his leg, rather than forwards, before it touched the ground. If it had accidentally hit his leg and gone forwards, then that'd still be a knock on, nobody is debating that. But Cummins seemed pretty sure that the fact it hit his leg and went backwards meant that it wasn't a knock on.

Was savelio due to injury? With leeds it's by design not circumstance. That is where leeds fans are coming from, it's a criticism of mcdermott, he consistently has unused subs, and some subs only seem to have 10/15 minute cameos, so many games leeds barely use 16 players.

It's ridiculous.

the weather didn't help. RL is usually so much better when played on a dry track, as most know.

The sky commentators were doing saints a disservice. You'd think saints had resorted to fielding 13 grannies off the street.

In reality, yes understrength, but plenty of highly talented, highly motivated youngsters out to kick start their career, a team on a winning run, high on confidence, at home as well. It simply wasn't the easy proposition the commentators were painting. Saints away never is easy.

Due to the above, i knew before the game leeds would be in for a torrid battle, and so it proved.

If we'd have sent that team to Bradford, they would be moaning and Longy would be laying off bets.

No, you fundamentally misunderstand the rule.

That is 100% certainly what he did.

Note: the definition says NOTHING about the ball having to hit the ground, or an opponent. As soon as the ball is played forward, it has been knocked on.

What you are confusing is that a knock on does not always stop play. You CAN knock on, but then retrieve the situation, so that play continues THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU DIDN'T KNOCK ON, but it means the knock on will not lead to play being stopped.

If you accidentally knock on, but the regather, then it WAS still a knock on, but the rules let you off, and so it is play on. If you drop the ball forwards, but then kick it before it hits the ground, that was still a knock on, but you the rules say this allows play to go on.

Most people misunderstand this rule. They think that for it to be a knock on,the ball has to hit the ground or an opponent. But this is wrong. Hitting the ground or an opponent is what will stop play. If you manage to avoid that by catching or kicking the ball, play will be allowed to continue, but it was still a knock on. Most people in conversation will say if you (for example, knock it forward but regather it), that "it wasn't a knock on". But it WAS. What they actually mean is, the knock on was cancelled out by managing to regather the ball.

Normally the distinction isn't important, but in this case it is crucial, because there are only 2 ways to negate the knock on, that would be to catch it, or kick it. He did neither. And therefore it remained a knock on which should have stopped play.
