Can someone clarify (or at least point me in the direction of a rule book) the knock on ruling. I am one of those people that loves both codes of this great sport and one of the huge differences and annoyances for me is the knock on ruling in league.

It seems to me that a knock on in league is just a general loss of control of the ball no matter what direction it goes in. Where as in union, if you lose it, as long as it doesn't go forward, it's still play on.

Union seems to have it right for me and it results in far less whistle blowing (at least in this area of the game).

Thoughts?????????????

I thought there was bad calls on BOTH sides this needs to get sorted

My thoughts are look after the fecking ball and it doesn't become an issue.

Agreed mate

I couldn't agree more!

Tonight just really frustrated me after years of wondering.

It just seems like a bit of a get out clause for the refs, that if the ball hits the deck it's either a knock on or a penalty.

The general rule these days seems to be that if the ball is lost in the collision, its a knock-on.
End of.
'Tis frustrating......But hearing someone say [i'Union has it right' [/iis even worse!!!

Agree.

The calls tonight were awful.


Balls going backwards and knock ons given.


Shocking and embarassing.

Spoiled the game at times.

funny how this is only ever brought up when you have lost.

The refs just seem to make it up as they go.

I wish I was joking.

I disagree.

I think you'll find that the people who post on here, will happily point out the flaws in Wigan's displpays. Just have a look at some of the other threads inspired by tonight's game.

I think that is the beauty of forums though, they inspire debate!

Yea but that doesn't suit his argument. These Wire fans are getting as bad as the placcy scousers

thnks.

You may now fook off back to your own board.


Wigan will finish higher than Warrington this season.


You may quote me on that.

Sooner Cummins goes the better. Maybe we can get some refs in who can actually perform well. Maybe we could hire some touch judges too as we don't appear to have any.

I've noticed this with the last few games on Sky, i.e. not just the Wigan games.
