Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 2202148, member: 1978"] The Lyon grounding was a mistake by the video ref, that is why Sterlo and co were going on and on. Here is the rule below, the ball came into contact with Lyon above his waist and was propelled forward, it was not on the ground, therefore it is an incorrect grounding and is play on because there has been no knock on. For Lyon to have scored he would need to regain control and ground the ball. GROUNDING means (a) placing the ball on the ground with hand or THE BALL hands or (b) exerting a downward pressure on the ball with hand or arm, the ball itself being on the ground or [i][b](c) dropping on the ball and covering it with the part of the body above the waist and below the neck, the ball itself being on the ground.[/b][/i] [i][b]Incorrect grounding ......... When an attacking player fails to ground the ball correctly, play continues unless stopped for some other reason, e.g. a knock-on or the ball goes dead.[/b][/i] I agree Bani was offside when he caught the ball , also Matai was offside when we were away late in the game and how that was missed is a mystery. Overall we were dudded but having said that we were far enough in front if good enough.
