Explain the difference between a deliberate knock on , and an unsuccessful interception attempt ? 

 

Whether there's a downwards slap at generally higher speed or an attempt to regather.

If there's doubt, benefit of doubt should go with the defender.

Cynical, spoiling, unsporting slap-downs are against the spirit of the sport.

I get v annoyed when the commentators say that our game is simple, or that teams simply do the basics. Ours is a fantastically difficult game to play this well. The Aussies are the best of the best, and to dismiss what they do as “basic” down plays excellence under pressure.

Yes, it's in the laws. 

We just ignore it. 

Just because. 

It is a stupid rule in either code though worse in Union because it’s treated as an automatic sin bin offence.

 

Should only ever be a knock on for me and a legitimate defensive play.

That could be a bad way for Chanel Harris-Tevita to finish his time in the game.

I thought the same, looked like he simply dropped a shoulder.

Its odd that in try line situations or like that just throwing yourself is suddenly a tackle.
