Quote ="Ian 77 Redux"I don't think this is about the standard of officiating, more the laws of the game.
It does not matter if the ball travels forward. RFL Laws, Section 10, Note 1:-
rflmedia.therfl.co.uk/docs/RFL%2 ... 202013.pdf
It's whether the ball is passed forward, not whether it has travelled forward. If Player A passes the ball backwards at the half way line, but because of momentum Player B catches it 1 metre past the half way line, it is not a forward pass. It looks like one, and we'd all be screaming for it, but it isn't. If the ball is passed backwards that is all that counts.
Now, is Scott is saying that momentum should be discounted, and it should only matter if it travels forward that's different. But we'll need to change the laws of the game, it's not about refereeing in my view.'"
Firstly, yes I am saying that it should only matter if it travels forward.
Everything about physics etc. is obviously correct, and I am intelligent enough to understand it all the poster who said otherwise.
The question mark is, we see some passes ruled forward that are nowhere near being forward. So obviously the physics of it don't come in to play when the refs are ruling those. |

Am i right in that or not?'"
Only technical offenses (ie, not binding correctly, ball placed in scrum incorrectly etc, and after the referee has given the team umpteen chances to do so correctly), foul play at the scrum is still a full penalty. |

The amount of forward passes in the game are a result of the obsession with the flat attacking line that is popular with most teams ,but we either live with what we have or bring them into the realm of the video ref & risk even more stoppages in games unless they are only to be scrutinised if a try is scored.

8/10 for me. |
