Chiefs v Crusaders

@mariner4life said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
One point from my perspective.
Mounga and Jordan the most dangerous players on the park, looking like top level players.
While our starting all black wingers just look average.
And for all our talk of midfield depth, the guys most likely to start the first test aren't showing much.
Okay 2 points.
I would actually consider Jordan to play right wing

Holy fuck. @Frank just booboo'd, but what caused the booboo was a @booboo post. My head hurts.

Good pace off the back of that scrum from Sowakula
He's been improving from that first round where everyone wanted him banished from the squad

@Kirwan said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
Embarrassing defence there
Edit: not DMac, that was a good effort
Poor bugger. Showed some guts. Just too small.

thanks to whoever posted the laws before - I learned something today. Based on those laws, clear no try -- it's not the same as a throw forward.
Refereeing has been in the spotlight, and not in a good way. Our referees haven't been great for a while, and it's wider than that generally. We are making the game harder to ref, and giving the refs less support. Not sure what to do, but if I had to invest in one place, referee developmnet would be it!

Who is the female commentator? "Jordan, peeled back by Cane" 😳
Rikki Swannell. Agree with the sentiment about that comment but I reckon she does a reasonable job. Much preferable to Laban.
Edit: forgot to mention she's done quite a bit of the 7s recently.

@mariner4life backwards out of the hands. That's what matters
I see @Bones posted the law that refutes that

@Bones said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
A knock-on occurs when a player loses possession of the ball and it goes forward, or when a player hits the ball forward with the hand or arm, or when the ball hits the hand or arm and goes forward, and the ball touches the ground or another player before the original player can catch it.
Worth re qoting

In this thread!
@No-Quarter yeah I posted up the law. Refs ruling it like forward pass when it's different.
Sorry I missed that. Yup amateur hour.
Crusaders too good in the end, but that kind of decision is similar to what drives people crazy when it happens to their team against the ABs. You just can't afford really basic mistakes like that going against you if you want to have a chance, especially when it directly leads to a try.
Also brings into question the supposed intentional knock on by Stevenson. His hand was facing backwards...
No downwards fair call Yc
Any chance you can explain where to find the law about downwards?
palm facing the ground on contact In front of your
body is a knock down not back wards
If he had attempted to knock it upwards to retain
The ball fair enough but he didn’t
So he knocked it downwards so penalty
I suppose it cost the chiefs the game well
no it didn’t
So who caresDownwards is legal. Forwards is not. (It was a deliberate knock forward- 100% legit YC.)

Nothing can tell the story of the game more appropriately than 5 tries to 1.
Everything that the Chiefs have achieved in this cruel season has been due to pride and team spirit rather than "imported" coaching.
Apart from the Welsh guy

makes sense , applying the backwards out of the hands would be a can of worms in regards to knock ons
-
A couple of things re Reffing decisions.
Absolute blatant howler for the Strange/Reece try. But the big calls for me were kind of split.
Weber should have got a card for the push in the air.
Apply the same logic about knock on/lost forward to the Chief's try and scrutinise that and see if you'd award it.
Stevenson definite YC.
Moaning both ways is appropriate.

@kiwiinmelb just shows how much of a minefield the rules are.
So many variables, interpretations and ambiguity, sometimes at odds with logic or common sense.
For me, the one last night was a common sense call when you use physics and shit, which turns out was against the rules.
I reckon if that was pre-tmo days, ruled a knock on every single time...so that probably says something too.
Obviously that's just my 'portant 'pinion.

Agreed about Weber foul. However, Chiefs try I thought ALB knocked forward but before ball touched anything patted it back and it landed BEHIND him, which I believe isn’t a knock on.

There was an angle where I thought there was a suggestion the ball clipped Goodhue's(?) leg before it was patted back. Nobody mentioned it at the time so maybe I was imagining things?

@mariner4life same laws of physics apply
Does it though? What's the law for a knock on...I don't recall it being the same wording as a forward pass.
The law says that if a player knocks it forward he has to catch it again before it hits the ground to avoid a knock on. Kicking it or slapping it back is not a valid way of stopping it being a knock on. And in this case even after he tried to slap it back, the ball still travelled forwards.
The refs absolutely bottled a pretty simple decision.
FFS!!! FFS!!! The law is that if a player loses control of ball and it hits ground forward of point he lost control it's a knock on. END OF. That ball travelled two metres forward after Strange's 'knock back'. There's a handy lineout marking which shows that clearly.
If we have TMOs they need to know the Laws (is that TOO much to ask?) and be prepared to overrule ref on findings of fact -- i.e. that the ball travelled forward.
As for Ben O'Keefe that's two incorrect game changing decisions in three weeks.
NZ Ref Body should show him a yellow, and he ought to sit out the next round.
Saders ought to buy him a watch for his contribution to their SRA crown..
.
Not so sure with your logic:
Strange juggled the ball, but last action was to push it back with his hands. Due to momentum the ball may have travelled forward slightly but ended up well behind him.
The problem I have with your logic is that if someone was to push the ball backwards in the same position but it travelled or rolled 10 metres back then you would be saying it was not a knock on.
So I think that with the way they rule re momentum and hands directing the ball backwards then this call was correct and consistent with laws as currently applied. Great reffing and use of review system because it looked like a knock on but technology and application of laws meant it wasn’t.

Where is that from? The official laws just says this:
A knock-Âon may occur anywhere in the playing area.
It is a knock-on when a player, in tackling or attempting to tackle an opponent, makes contact with the ball and the ball goes forward. Sanction: Scrum (if the ball goes into touch, the non-offending team may opt instead for a quick-throw or lineout).
A player must not intentionally knock the ball forward with hand or arm. Sanction: Penalty.
It is not an intentional knock-on if, in the act of trying to catch the ball, the player knocks on provided that there was a reasonable expectation that the player could gain possession.
The ball is not knocked-on, and play continues, if:-A player knocks the ball forward immediately after an opponent has kicked it (charge down).
-A player rips or knocks the ball from an opponent and the ball goes forward from the opponent’s hand or arm.
A throw forward may occur anywhere in the playing area. Sanction: Scrum.

@Anonymous Thanks!

The thing about the no 'knock on' call last night is that four officials were involved in making the call. Either there is a directive re knock ons that we do not know about or, more disturbingly, nobody felt as though they could speak up and disagree with the ref. If I was the ref I would be feeling let down by my assistants. He definitely asked if everyone agreed and nobody said otherwise
-
-
Haven’t read all the comments but surely the knock on decision is quite a simple equation.
Where did the ball touch ground in relation to where it was last touched.
That’s all you need to judge -
@Machpants Lisa Fucking Lewis. She must be bored or maybe her publicity is down. She didn't even make it to the touch line before she got tackled.

She’s not as nimble as she was in 06

No idea who she is, not going to find out either. They really need to up the penalties for streakers/pitch invasions. Realtive to the costs they are part of, like OK you were on the pitch , you can pay your share of the security costs.

Disagree. Penalties should be adjudicated entirely dependant on how good looking they are

So how long was her ban last time, it was in hamilton then too wasnt it?

The bans are only a trespass notice which is 2 years. There's probably a fine in there as well.
