Quote: Wellsy13 "Except herebecause of the thrower’s own momentum the ball travels forward relative to the ground. This is not a forward pass as the thrower has not
passed the ball forward in relation to himself. This is particularly noticeable when a running player makes a high, lobbed pass.
Perhaps you should read the laws first, and then keep hold of that Physics for Dummies book before sending it on to anyone else.'"
Are you Stevo?
That backs up exactly what I said, there is no 'momentum rule', and a forward pass is determined by the players body position when passing relative to the pitch. The bit you've highlighted in bold is merely an example to illustrate this point that the RFL have included to help out the gormclopses.
