Message: [QUOTE="Jeba, post: 2418517, member: 1827"] Have a look at Slater's match-winner against Canberra. He absolutely knocked one of the Raiders' defenders off his feet in getting to the ball. Israel Folau jumps on Anthony Quinn's back in Origin 3. They were both great takes and great tries and they are what the fans come to see. You see in just about every high ball contest, some sort of obstruction, to one extent or another. And yet just because Yow Yeh happened to not catch it, he is penalised for it? Really? If he got his hands to it and dropped it, they'd have called knock on. They wouldn't have given a penalty. If he'd taken a miracle catch they'd have called play on, but just because he misjudged his jump, it's a penalty. I think that's stupid. Also I am not sure how this could set a dangerous precedent at all. What's the point of looking like you're going up for a ball only to knock another player out of a contest, and have the football bounce in any which direction after everyone misses it? [/QUOTE]
