Bentham was the vidio ref.

You missed wink, obviously. The thread is actually intended as praise to the guy. Even if it was flat, the result would have been the same.

Is the momentum rule something that stevo invented and he believes is an actual rule? or is it in the rule books?

Mis read that, thought it was about Pryce's try and how the ref, Thaler, didn't go to the screen.



Minds elsewhere.

Can see Ainscough in an England shirt, very good prospect.

The lad looke a cracking prospect for Wigan, Definetly a try kept his legs in the air,,.Makes you think he he would have been discovered 3/4 years back would Wigan have kept him?

Momentum is in rule book..the direction of the pass is relative to the player making it and not the actual path relative to the ground.
A player running towards his opponents goal line may throw the ball towards a colleague who is behind him but because of the throwers own momentum the ball travels forward relative to the ground.this is not a forward pass as the thrower has not passed the ball forwards in relation to himself.

Basically they tell us to look at position of hands not ball...but you havent got time to look at everything..I give a forward if it obvious it forwards..ie player is running slowly or passing along line..sometimes it easier to let the odd slightly forward go as it evens itself up over course of season.

did anyone hear eddies comment on this try. something about the benefit of doubt going to the defender because it was a fantastic effort to get across to attempt the tackle. what a c0ck. needs to take his hed out of st helens a rse

Eddie and his Saints bias are well known around these parts. Had it been Gardner going in at the corner, he would have been all over the decision to award a try.

Eddie is one of the main problems with Sky Sports broadcasts, he has gone from being a impartial commentator to an ego driven over opinionated self publicist.

Sadly, nothing will change as Sky wouldn't be interested in complaints on the issue.

cant understand a word of it

back to topic....on the replays, 2 angles (front and back) showed he was in touch, but the 3rd angle (from the side) showed his knee clear of the ground , determined by the shadow below his knees.
i wonder if it would have been given in a game without the floodlights on.

cracking effort anyway, and more to come imo...and i thought he was a mark 2 jason robinson weeks ago.

ps......whats miami dolphins quarterback got to do with anything?

moan moan moan.
