Quote: MarginMeter "I’m relatively new to rugby league, and so really am not an expert on the rules, but what do you mean by this please? I’ve freeze framed it, and from where the ball was kicked and the angle of where it landed it would be physically impossible for it not to have come off the inside of the post and gone over the bar. Is there some rule that even if the ball hits the post and goes over the bar inwards the kick can be disallowed if it moves the original position of the post in some way? If it was disallowed as simple linesman error I’ve got no problem, we all make mistakes, I’m just wondering if there is some rule on this I’ve never been aware of, particularly as apparently Bentham as video ref said he wouldn’t have overruled the decision if it had been referred to him.'"
I'm pretty sure it went through but I don't think it changes the laws of physics Jim!
Could the ball have hit the bar with power and could have put increased spin on the ball to go tight around the invisable extended post....like a the spin on a soccer ball and fall back within the post plane?
