Tigers were denied a try in recent years and that was called a knock on. 100% same thing It was ruled there was no 'intent' to kick and was called a knock on. I wish i could remember the game.

Another time the tigers dropped it and kicked it making it a drop kick. The ref called knock on as his 'gait' wasnt positioned for a drop goal. I shit you not.

I don't recall those instances bit there are 2 decisions that need to be made by the ref. Did the player drop the ball intending to kick it. If yes then it can hit the ground first and is ruled a drop kick (even if they did not intend to do a drop kick.I hate this ruling but this is the current interpretation).
If they dropped it accidentally and they have kicked it on purpose before hitting the ground (intent to kick). You can drop the ball and it just happens to land on your foot or you can drop the ball and deliberately strike at it with your foot. The first is a knock on the second is play on.
 
Gagai is an old man way past his best … but imagine one of our special needs centers or wingers throwing a pass like that ?
 
We just don’t have the players out wide. Not Benji fault the cupboards bare. Club is in a bad state can only be solved by recruitment kids can’t turn this around.
 
I have always wanted to Doueihi to succeed at our club... but he is definitely not nrl standard.
We are lucky they didnt sign him longer than 1 yr. Alamollo why are we persisting with him.
Not sure who we can blood this year for those 2
