Round 3 Discussion

So tackle complete, you can then come in over the top and push the ball out, and that's fair game?
 
Makes sense to me. Ref said that he thinks Parra touched it which is why it appeared forward. Parra didn't touch it, therefore the trajectory was all Dogs, forward pass.

That is disgraceful. So video refs can rule on a forward pass now?

Well the only thing he could call on is contact with the opposition player during the pass, but looking at that it was travelling forward anyway from the pass. I think Morkel has it right, they aren't ruling on it being forward as such, rather the contact making it travel forward.

But the video ref has never ruled on forward passes, never.

Should've called it no try then. Video ref cannot call it a forward pass.
 
I want the dogs to lose as the next guy, but that is absolute bullshit. I hope des rips a reporters fucking head off in the presser. If those video refs have a job after this round they have pics of Greenberg with a goat.
 
A forward pass is called on which way the ball leaves the hands. So whether its touched in flight or not is irrelevant.

Correct decision in the end, but the on field refs clearly dont know the rules.
 
He ruled it a try. What did the video ref see that contradicted that, and that they're allowed to rule on?
 
The video ref didn't rule it forward, they ruled that Parra didn't touch it. Sideline ref called it forward, on-field said he thought it was touched. Video ref says not touched, therefore sideline ref's call of forward pass is upheld.
