Have just turned over at half time in the Cowboys game to the All Bllacis game to see a perfect illustration of the video ref disallowing a try due to a forward psss. Why can’t we do this as I’ve lost count the number of tries given in Superleague from passes going forward?

The problem is that a pass can often look forward on one angle and perfectly fine on another. Knock ons are far far easier to rule on because all you are interested in is did the ball travel forwards,

So, what is the process that is being advocated here? In general play, the video ref signals to the on field ref every time he spots a forward pass and the game stops. For a try, will the on

It isn't easy to determine whether borderline passes are forward or not.  But, on the whole, I think benefit of the doubt should go with the attacking side because (i) we know it's hard to be sure (ii

How did they decide it was forward.

Probably the same way that lots of us do when watching at home, some are as obvious as the nose on your face, and on lots of occasions the ref is inline with the pass but somehow misses it.

I’m wondering how the TMO decided it not how thousands of fans incorrectly decide.

It isn’t the same ruling.

True but the number of mistakes by the officials are just as glaring.

Anyway have you sorted out your Virgin yet?

Just been on WhattsApp for 2 hours with them, result was "we'll raise an I.T. ticket to look into it".

I don't see officials making that many mistakes, then again I know the laws.

Yes me too, that is why I can see for both forward passes and knock on's officials get a number of them wrong.

I find the people who complain most about forward passes are the people who don't understand the forward pass rule. They also seem to of the opinion if it looks forward it must be forward. 

The clue is in the hands, if they are propelling the ball forward it is a forward, just like the example I gave above.

I've just watched the highlights of NZ/Argentina. The first try of the game included a pass that would definitely have been deemed "suspiciously forward" by League commentators. Looks as though the on-field ref just gave the try. No referral.

Presumably this disallowed try was later on?

Depends on the angle of the player in relation to the pitch, so not always a reliable 'clue'.

While we still have the on field call there is no reason the video ref can't rule on forward passes.

There is mainly because most so called forward passes are 50-50 calls so you really are better leaving it to the officials opinion live. Imagine the moaning on here when the VR ref gets a tight call on a forward pass to win the grand final in the last minute. He couldn’t win everyone who wanted the try scoring would think it was fine and everyone who didn’t would be convinced it was a mile forward. It’s a can of worms we don’t need to open. I’m just interested on how the RU TMO rule on it.

Very hard to make a decision when it's a flat pass even with a replay. I would much rather we didn't have every single on field decision checked by video tbh.

Well deserved Leeds win, fixed the completion problem 2nd half and defended well throughout.
