By your interpretation that means you can get a penalty by throwing the ball at an opposition players head (so long as you throw it in a backwards direction). That clearly wouldn't be correct.

You also can't claim a knock on if you throw the ball at an opposition players arm unless he attempts to grab at the ball. The letter of the law states that it is a knock on though.

I must admit that my initial post was triggered by a memory of a try that you can see if you search 'Strange Rugby League Try' on YT. I didn't know they'd added this law after that try, and am certain that the intent of the law is to ban 'head-to-ball' NOT 'ball-to-head'

A 'knock on' can only happen off the hand or arm, so it's definitely not that. Seems a bit extreme to claim a penalty for a ball hitting a player's head.

You're barking up the wrong tree trying to blame this one on the refs - I accept that they make too many inconsistent decisions generally though.

Away this weekend so didn't see the game but feels like a tipping point in fan sentiment. I really don't see a credible "jam tomorrow" campaign for season passes persuading waverers to renew.

The tipping point had already arrived given the attendance manipulation figure last night

I’m picking up the same feeling. Picking up / retaining pass holders will be based on events on the field going forward. Loyalty and jam tomorrow has been exhausted.

What's the general consensus on Your next game at Salford on Thursday, After are Stroll in the 90 degrees heat yesterday afternoon and a Reasonable 46-14 Win ,Do you reckon you could catch in a jet lagged !! State of mind ??? See you all Thursday.
