Newcastle/Tigers Anamoly

The referee called it a Tigers knock on.

Fair? Or should there have been an alternative ruling?

 

[Super Freak]

Well the refs should have stopped play.

But I didn't mind them letting it play on and I think it was a fair call.

Rule #1 when taking kicks. Always keep your eye on the ball. Forget about everything else going on around you.

If it had hit him and that resulted in the knock on, I would say Tigers ball. But it didn't.

I'm curious as to how that ball even got there.

I would be expecting an addition to the rules.

Thought he dropped it before the other ball had any impact on his vision anyway.

I doubt there are provisions in the rules for this. But if there is, Sims should be charged with something. He is an outright liar by saying he didn't see it. You can tell clearly he does, and it's a kick. Tough call for the Tigers, especially since they couldn't keep them out in the next set.

I'm non committal as to whether play should have been stopped or allowed to continue.

Bang on about Sims though. Definite and deliberate kick. Telling massive porkies, he is.

Charged with what? Not his fault there was a second ball on the field.

Read it again. If there are provisions, he should be charged. Especially since he lied about seeing it. He kicked it in that direction, which is just a **** act really. He knew what he was doing.

How about conduct outside the spirit of the game.

That would be a terrible, terrible grey rule that the game doesn't need. They could basically use it to charge anyone, with anything, however, and whenever they feel. IT would be abused by the judiciary. We've shown that they need to have their hands held.

Why didn't they just use the rule that's normally used where there are 2 balls on the field (like a restart when 2 different ball-boys throw a ball to the hooker to tap it)? Stop play, remove ball, start that play again.

I think they said the ball came from the crowd, it wasn't an NRL ball. If they made that a rule then I guess people in the crowd would just throw stuff on the field when it looked like someone will score against their team.

Because it was during play. And attacking kick. So it was a different situation.

Doesn't this rule already exist?

This is fucking genius. Where was this guy in the GF?!

If it does, I'm not sure it's been used. You would have to think for a few years there that the entire Storm squad would have been charged every game given the bullshit they bought to the game.

I am most likely wrong, but it stuck in my memory for some reason.

In any case, **** the storm!

It's probably the one time the bunker should have stepped in and interfered with the on field refs. Clearly Sims tried to gain an advantage. If the try had have been scored off that play would the bunker have allowed it?
