Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2447466, member: 2115"] [b]Re: Round 24 - Broncos vs Storm - Post Match Discussion[/b] why not? because its the complete opposite of the rules! referees get calls wrong all the time in regards to knock-ons. was matt scotts "knock-on" in the third origin, where the ball went about 2m backwards, the correct call? if a referee calls a knock-back a knock-on, and if the ball goes 1mm backwards it IS a knock-back, that doesnt mean that he was right and that that is just how the game is played. again - the rule is that it has to go FORWARD for it to be a knock-on. you cant argue this, its in the official rules of the game. backwards is not forwards. the "fabric of the game" is generally referred to by someone who knows theyre wrong but think that the rules are wrong. the rules cant be wrong, theyre the rules. if the rules changed tomorrow to allow forward passes, citing the "fabric of the game" as a reason why a gridiron like try shouldnt be allowed just doesnt cut it.
