A knock-on play in the Titans-Sea Eagles game...

[TigersFan4Life]

I may be way off here, but something about a decision just a few minutes ago in the Titans-Sea Eagles game struck me as wrong. It was the play when Glen Stewart was caught with the ball on the final tackle and desperately shovelled it out the back, only for the Titans to knock it on, resulting in a Sea Eagles scrum feed.

It seems to me that the Titans should have received some sort of reward for getting up in defense quickly and pretty much stopping the Sea Eagles on the final tackle, but instead Manly recieved another set of six by virtue of the scrum, and then scored a couple minutes later.

Like I said, I might be way off, but I really can't see why Manly deserved a new set of six in that situation.

If the ref called held before Stewart threw the ball then the ref could call it back for a hand over to the Titans. If the ref hasn't called held, then the play is still 'alive' and if Stewart chucks the ball and a Titans player knocks it on then it is a scrum feed to Manly.

It's not really fair, but it sounds like a correct ruling to me.

I don't care, I shocking week with the tips (3/8), and Manly won, so I'll take all I can get at the moment.

I thought the biggest debacle was the Robertson try after Matai had the ball stripped over the line by Prince. How can you still be rewarded if you have poor ball security over the try line?

I know the rules were implemented correctly, but the rule is wrong. If the attacker loses the ball over the tryline, be it lost cold or stripped, the ball should be deemed dead.

The problem was that Greg Bird didnt play the ball with his foot before the Scott Prince try, not sure if anybody else seen this as well??? please let me know.
