What you can’t jump like that? Why

 

[Thresher]

He was trying to tap that back

 

[XGinga]

He touched the ball!!!!
How is he not trying to catch

 

[sharksandwich]

WHAT?!

 

[bort]

Are we now definitely gonna to to see no more tap backs?

Feels like maybe it will be our one penalised but no others…

 

[Thresher]

Can't baulk the catcher anymore. Ridiculous law

 

[Greg86]

You don’t need to catch you can hit it back ffs

These rule tweaks what the ****

 

[deep blue jaws]

wtf is that rule? what else can kennedy do?

 

[common]

Going to be 1000 penalties this year if they are consistent. So if they jump to bat the ball back and miss then it is a penalty.

 

[bort]

High on Williams

 

[MMsharks]

[Western Sharkie]

I believe you can’t ‘baulk’ but looked like he had a genuine swing at tapping it back to me

I think he actually touched it just not much power on it.
