Tend to agree with Jaws here there was nothing wrong with Bosc's try either so how ever you look at it a draw was a good result

And if you really want to be picky. The pass from Tommy to Pat for try 1 was forward by a rugby union forward pass

Oh the momentum rule of Stevo'scherry.pie wrote:That is being picky because watching it again there's nothing wrong with it. Tommy passes from 4 yards out and Pat picks it up about 4 yards out. It might be half a yard forward but most passes go forward in the air if the passer is moving forward.

I think you'll find that the laws of Physics say if you pass a ball backwards it goes backwards not sideways or forwards :conf:cherry.pie wrote:I wouldn't exactly accredit it to Stevo, it's more the laws of physics.Fujiman wrote:Oh the momentum rule of Stevo'scherry.pie wrote:That is being picky because watching it again there's nothing wrong with it.

So your saying that a backward pass that goes forward 5 metres (by your description above) is not a forward pass. :conf:cherry.pie wrote:Correct. But I mean the movement of the ball in relation to the ground. If a player runs forward and passes the ball backwards on the 50 metre line the supporting player could catch the ball on the 45 metre line because the ball will keep travelling forward in the air. That is the momentum rule. It's not a rugby rule, it's just physics.Fujiman wrote:I think you'll find that the laws of Physics say if you pass a ball backwards it goes backwards not sideways or forwards :conf:cherry.pie wrote: I wouldn't exactly accredit it to Stevo, it's more the laws of physics.

hes right due to the fact that the persaon is treavelling forward also and so is the ball.Fujiman wrote:So your saying that a backward pass that goes forward 5 metres (by your description above) is not a forward pass. :conf:cherry.pie wrote:Correct.

no no no dont start all this again you will have rob the ref telling you the full rule

I think I'll have to agree to disagree with you on this one because i need to go to Liverpool now but your analogy above about the 50m & 45m lines proves that the ball has travelled forwards whether in relation to the ground or the players. It physically cannot go forward 5m after being thrown backwardscherry.pie wrote:The ball can be passed in a backward motion, but move forward in relation to the ground, but is a fair pass in relation to the movement of the 2 players.Fujiman wrote:So your saying that a backward pass that goes forward 5 metres (by your description above) is not a forward pass. :conf:cherry.pie wrote: Correct.

A player can pass the ball backwards over his head and it can still travel forward over the ground.

cherry.pie is absolutely correct, but that still won't convince many on here.
We've been over this so many times on here, but some people just don't understand basic physics.

While we're on about dodgy video ref decisions, did anybody see the Gilmour try in the Warrington game. His ball carrying arm clearly touches the floor at the elbow before he gets the ball down, yet the try was awarded?????
