Message: [QUOTE="Dash, post: 2775582, member: 8761"] It's not so much the in front/behind difference, it's the up/down. It isn't deliberate every time, but at the moment there's no onus on the attacking player to do anything other than spoil the contest. They were always going to turnover possession so there's nothing to lose from dropping the catch. The fact that the ball landed on Oates (and the Sharks player's) chest while being 3 feet above the chaser means the chaser was nowhere near making the catch. I'm happy for players to do it, whether deliberately or accidentally, but if the guy in the air gets flipped onto their head you should be penalised. If the attacker gets off the ground and is a genuine chance of catching the ball, then no penalty. [/QUOTE]
