The most ludicrous forward pass was the Leeds v Stains game earlier this season. Ten times worse than yesterday.

| Quote eddiewaringsflatcap="eddiewaringsflatcap"Anyone who claimed that Deacon didnt knock on because the ball hit him in the face has shown their ignorance as far as the rules of the game are concerned.
The RFL changed the rules when John Harison nutted the ball in the 90's against Sheffield Eagles for a try. Therein any contact with the head is a knock on.'"
Pretty sure Shaun Briscoe once got hit in the head with the ball and scored for us a few years back, and the ref ruled that he hadn't played at the ball so the try stood?

| I dont understand why we cant use the video ref for forward passes .. I mean sometime you might not be able to make the call but then it reverts back to 'refs call' as with other incidents where the video is inconclusive. The pass yesterday was a joke but knowhere near as bad as that effort in the Leeds game

| Having spent a few happy hours watching Super League & NRL games I have a few questions,
1, Has anyone noticed that now nearly every play the ball in the NRL is done properly hence hardly any penalties for markers not square, they dont get as many quick play the balls as we seem to get but the games are still good to watch & they have to work hard to get a roll on.(this may well come to haunt us in the Autumn if, sorry when we are made to play to thier rules.
2, Who has decided that referees are allowed to decide wich rules they will penalise this week? Two games this weekend so far I have seen at least three penalties for not square at marker when the ball player has moved forward off the mark & not even played the ball correctly. if the the ball is played with the foot the defending players have time to get set(watch the NRL this season).
3, The old chestnut the forward pass I can except that some will be missed & I can deal with thjat but we have all seen at live games blatant forward passes & the touch judge is in line & wont or is not allowed to intervene.
I suspect that the touch judges are not consulted in the name of keeping the game flowing & there in lies my main question, WHO has decided that the game should speed up to the point that the rules are ignored? In the 50 years I have watched this game no one has ever asked my opinon on what I want & suspect that not many other supporters have been asked (I was not asked as a player either). My main point is that rules are rules enforce them or if they are no good change them. Mistakes by officials on the pitch we can live with but a seemingly official policy of selective enforcement Is not right.

I'm honestly wondering, if refs have been told not to give forward passes if they offer try scoring chances. =#FF0000The amount i've seen this year is unbearable.'"
I assume you were running up and down the terracing being in line with play to ascertain this!!!!

For all those calling the touch judges, Richard Silverwood was referee in that one as well as at Wigan. Surely time to take some responsibility.

| As a neutral I felt Saints were robbed of that game yesterday because intead of them going in full of beans at 10-0 up Wigan's heads lifted with that forward pass try and they came out from the break firing and took control.
It wasn't a 50/50 call either it was blatently forward and not excusable,it should have been seen.
Also Leeds seem to do a forward in every set that hardly ever gets picked up.

How can YOU tell?
Were you in line with play at the time, or, as I suspect, looking at a tv screen through lager filled glasses after the forward pass dominated Hull display against a far superior KR team who let you win?

I was perfectly in line with it and it was shocking. Everyone saw it, everyone. Miles and miles forward, leaving the hands at a near 45 degree angle towards the Saints line.
Stop defending them. They are useless.

So why are you NOT bagging the player (who was it?) who threw this "alleged forward pass" (in YOUR opinion) and the other player (who was this?) who was in front (i.e offside) to recieve this.
Next who was the coach/assistant coach (who were these?) that COACHED them to pass that way and why are you not bagging them for their terrible coaching technique?
All in all then I would suggest they all are (by YOUR own superior standards) useless and should not be allowed anywhere near a rugby league field.
One day, and on these forums it will never happen due to the high level of myopia, people will realise that everyone involved in the game make mistakes/ errors/wrong decisions and that it is part and parcel of the game overall.
And as for "defending them",
a) which "them" am I defending against what ?
b) Why should I stop pointing out things and asking questions?

All seems very fair and reasonable, are you sure you're in the right place?
