Define a Forward Pass..

Well, if it leaves the hands and goes backwards, or is flat for the tiges, it's a forward pass; if it's a metre or so in front of the passer in blue and gold, it's OK.
 
As far as i recall, the NRL on Fox lads schooled everyone on this a few weeks ago.
IMHO, this is what broke our momentum, especially the awesome Benji to Morris floater, which could have led to something…
Sheens will be filthy you bet..

Dont be so hard on yourself mate. We courageously came and played the full 80 minutes, bar an incredibly lucky bounce to Hayne for the try..
 
From what I could see, Lawrence threw the best forward pass tonight.

Exactly!! Refs didn't cost us the game tonight - Our terrible last tackle options did - In saying that we were bloody good - it is a real shame that one of these teams (maybe both) may not be playing footy in September.

sheens was way too soft on the refs in the conference..

Can't afford the 10 grand.
 
Considering the referees performance tonight I think a spray in the post match wouldve been money well spent. Tony Archer should never be let near a whistle again.
Couldnt call a forward pass.
Couldnt call an offside penalty.
Couldnt call a penalty for lying all over us in the ruck.

And this guy is considered for Origin and the Grand Final.

WHAT A JOKE.

Give the Fajajo a whistle not a flag.
 
if the hand(s) faces backwards at the time the ball is thrown, it is play on. its forward only when the hand(s) faces forward. its only natural for the ball to go forward with momentum at times even though its passed back. eg: when a player is running n passes the ball back and is stopped immediately after passing, physics will tell u that the momentum will float the ball forward when in fact it was passed back.

i am not suprised the calls went against us all night. anyone who has watched the tigers games the past 5 season will see that archer will rip us time n time again.

Your explanation is spot on Torbizlo. :righton: Marshall's reaction to 'that forward' pass was priceless.. sigh…

No it doesn't….....a player stopping has nothing to do with the ball "traveling" forward... when a player stops... it just looks worse
