Quote: Ian.FCF "I'm with you Alfie.....Kosh and Welsy ought to work for the RFL as all they are doing is making a simple game complicated.......A forward pass is a forward pass no matter how you try and dress t up differently and an obstruction is an obstruction (run behind the player with ball in Hand) crossing as I've always known it as......what disturbs me about the game now is why the laws of the game although they haven't changed, when an incident arises instead of calling it as it is, more time is spent explaining a reason as to why the decision wasn't given!
Example....Warringtons try last Monday...Hodgeson passed the ball 2 yds before the 10 yard line and it was caught 2 yds after the line???????
As I said earlier, I'm with Alife, such a blatant bad decision would not of happened in our day as regular ally as it does in today's game...
Sometimes I despair at how this game I love, is slowly being ruined!!'"
Clearly a forward pass isnt a forward pass then because, as we explained, the ball can be caught in front of the passing player and still be legal
