Quote: Terry Monster "Talking about the incident when McGuire takes out the catcher, has anybody else noticed his tactics for this particulr part of the game.
The rules state that you've got to be looking at the ball to not concede a penalty. McGuire often jumps whilst have no chance of catching the ball, but keeps his eyes on it and purposley taking the opposition out in the air.
Anybody else noticed this from him?'"
I've never noticed it before but I think I will notice it more often now it's been pointed out. If he does do that then it's a very clever way of manipulating the rules and finding a loophole.
IMO the RFL needs to clarify this rule - a simple if he wasn't looking at the ball it's a penalty is far too vague IMO.
