He grounded the ball in goal, drop out

Intent to get out of ingoal

Never been ruled that way, he grounded the ball it should be a drop out.

Dunno about that...think you're wrong...well hear more about it if you're correct

There have been heaps of times players have grounded the ball and then attempted to leave the ingoal area and had it ruled as a drop out!.

How do you determine intent?

I'd think.its pretty straight forward

Ok how? I'm not being arrogant, I actually respect your opinion on football!

Well you either attempt to.pick up and get it out of the in goal....or planting a hand.on it on.the ground...if an opposition player is a chance at scoring you're probably gonna go safe and ground it but if there's a chance at retaining possession you want to get it out of the in goal....i think they have to rule intent as I said earlier ***a motionless ball could be deemed grounded the moment a player places a hand on it to pick it up and run it.***..physically he does ground it even though he's trying to get into the field of.play

Great half of footy 👏

 

[mike]

Gotta say Souths look the most likely.

The word probably is the problem when deciding intent, you can decide what the player probably was trying to do, but that is not definite. There are situations where you can't tell what the player was trying to do. for example a player slips and panics so grounds the ball in the process of falling, he then realises he has more time than he thought so decides to get out of the in goal. How by looking at it do you decide intent?

Agree, but hopefully we are wrong!

Let’s hope

 

[clokan]

neither side is looking like they will threaten the storm or roosters

 

[TIGER]

This game will be decided by a dodgy refs call

 

[TheDaBoss]

thats a try surely

 

[TheDaBoss]

thats play on sir

 

[WT2K]

Kicks it before the ball hits the ground... Play on

 

[TheDaBoss]

waht r they looking at"

 

[hobbo1]

Cummins is legally blind or on the take

 

[Gazman]

Benji did exactly the same in a finals against the Dragons I recall

 

[TIGER]

We saw that the first time, why are we looking at it another 7 times?

Todd was on the phone to the bunker

 

[mike]

The Bunker is painful. 2 million people knew he kicked that after the first viewing. It took 6 or 7 replays for the Bunker to agree.

 

[hobbo1]

Meanwhile Reynolds has had 1/2 hour to recover from whatever knock he got while the bunker sorts it out 🙄

 

[Gazman]

Let’s hope Croker doesn’t choke with the kicks this time not looking good for him so far

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Tried everything not to give that try. How many times do you have to look at it to see that he kicked it WELL before it hit the ground? Bloody hell!
