Unfortunately ‘A body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by an external force’
If the ball had been moving forward after hitting Briers it would not be able to change direction again unless it hit something else. A previous ‘momentum’ that it might have had is irrelevant.
That Sir Isaac Newton knew a thing or two about Rugby League.

I can accept the correct decision been awarded regarding the Briers' knock on but what i can't tolerate is the fact that the self same incident or similar will occur at a ground this season but that the decision will be the complete opposite and that it will be deemed as going forward

Rugby League fans throughout the game are frustrated due to the simple fact that there is a complete lack of consistency shown each week in the referees decision making, is it me or has this frustration got worse under Stuart Cummings?

And this is why so many Leeds supporters got frustrated over this particular incident - we see the exact same thing happen week in, week out and 95% of those incidents are given as a knock-on.

95%?

100% yes

Interesting that Bentham chose to ignore this apparent new advice and revert back to the old interpretation tonight for the catalans no try. Ie. calling Wigan te defending team even though cats never actually took possession.

Was he wrong tonight then?

If not then surely he must have been wrong at the cup final?

I noticed that a couple of 'knock ons' by either side tonight which went slightly behind (ala Briers at Wembley) were given as play on. As long as there is consistency that's fine by me.
