I've heard that before. Would have been a few years ago when Wellens knocked on and then managed to slap the ball backwards (Slater-esque) and was pulled back for the knock-on (unlike Slater). As the scrum was being formed, and Wellens was whining to the ref (surprising but true), Steveo came out with that particular delightful nugget of nonsense.

When the ball eventually hit the ground it was in front of where he had originally touched it.......Knock on.

You took the words right out of my... keyboard...!!

I'm not convinced Slater knocked the ball forward deliberately, surely he would have preferred to catch the ball first time rather than fumbling a catch and making a recovery?

Was it the try after that where they knocked on on the tackle before they scored right in the north/east corner. Aliber went to the screen but not far enough back to cover the knock on. We were sat right by the front in that corner and it was obvious to everyone, everyone around me was up screaming knock on.

Well no, but he didn't did he.

Well what was he intending to do then?

Knock it backwards?
Catch it with one hand?

I imagine palm it back

The video ref fell for the oldest trick in the book with the Inglis "try"

Just as he was going to press the NO TRY button, Hayne shouted "Watch out, BEHIND YOU!!!"

Then when he was distracted, Hayne quickly pressed the TRY button.

Bl00dy cheating Aussies


btw It was never a try in the memory of man, disgraceful decision.

Re what is in bold,

YES IT DOES

end of thread

No it doesn't. It's a penalty if you deliberately propel the ball forwards even if it touches nothing and you catch it afterwards.

For example if you are given a pass and can't reach it so punch it or push it forwards and then catch it it's still classed as a knock on.

Watching it again didn't Slater knock it forward then it touched Sinfield nobody seemed to mention it?

Inglis was no try, pause it on Sky Plus and you see there was day light.
