Because there are too many forward passes for a video ref to deal with.

For some reason i thought the RFL had done away with the penalty try too, not sure why?

For stripping, that could be where you're getting confused?

Agreed. The use of the "flat pass" from acting half means that if we pulled up every pass that was technically forward according to the laws we'd have one at least every other set of 6.

Backwards relative to where the passer is on the field when the receiver catches it, as opposed to forward from where the passer was on the field when he let go of it.
