Ah shadduper ya face - forwards is forwards.

Physics is all abart potassium.

Bore off and patronise someone else. It was a forward pass which the officials sadly did not pick up. Hey ho, Leeds would still have won at a canter anyway.

Have you watched the video?

Yeah I watched the video. A little off topic, the rare time I watch union and the rare times 2 passes are strung together I can't help but noticed even less forward passes are called in union.

So you saw the bit where the player threw the ball backwards over his head?

A with everything in rugby league, what should be a very simple rule has been convoluted into something complicated.

the onus should be on the player to take into account his momentum, the blowing wind etc,etc,etc. and still ensure the ball travels backwards. SIMPLE.

but no, what we need is for the referee to watch the video before whipping out his calculator and protractor to make a decision.

So you'd disincentivise fast running?

No. I would encourage better ball handling skills

Is disincentivise a real word, if so Bren will be using that one.

Or fact checking

It must be when he uses it, because it's spelt properly.

So, instead of the referee getting his calculator and protractor out the fellah with the ball would have to stop and do a quick calculation! Totally f...ing laughable post. The rule is already simple. It's not necessarily easy to make the correct decision when someone's running near the speed of Usain Bolt and passing the ball to someone else also running at the same speed or faster possibly at a different angle but the rule is simple.

It is not simple though is it? It is purely subjective to the referees interpretation.

How much tolerance do you allow for momentum 1m 2m ,10m ?

how do you think forward passes were judged for over 100 years before the mythical momentum rule ?

Owned it there Captain Caveman - glad you are on my side.
