How did Will keep his arm inside the field of play after taking that catch in our in goal? On replay look like his arm went down and touched the sideline

Also a penalty for borking a player. Wtf is this **** NRL? It's not dangerous, why is it a thing? Looked like a genuine bat back attempt anyway

Just another rule to keep the bunker employed before AI takes over?

The NRL - masters of answering the questions no one is asking.

Penalty on WK was an over zealous interpretation. Probably not a penalty but correct by the letter of the law.

WK got lucky on a couple of others though, so Sharks can't complain overall.

It was a genuine bat back attempt. That was just a mistake on the ref. The rule is that you can't jump up and try and make the fullback drop it by getting in their way. Which I kind of like. I hated that players could do that and force an error without having to do much themselves.

Will didn't do that. The ref just made an error

That looks like a different situation. Dragons player was physically touched, borderline interfered with or impeded by Cam taking him out which seemed to be the main factor in the ball being spilled, not being distracted or borked.

Kennedy didn't even touch the fullback

Cheers, that sounds somewhat reasonable. The incorrect ruling on Will made the rule look utterly silly

I just mean that is why the rule was made. Penalty for baulking is a thing now whether you touch them or not.

Ref obviously ruled that it wasn't a genuine bat back attempt, which was a correct application of the rule (but appears to be an incorrect decision given the benefit of a slow-mo replay).

The definition of genuine must be eyes on the ball as it is very hard for me to come to the conclusion he didn't 'genuinely' want to bat the ball back

Gee the referees make lives hard for themselves by focussing on all these interpretations.

It's not hard to tell if a defender catching the ball is impeded by the attacking player (who is not genuinely going for the ball).

It makes them second guess themselves - and leaves themselves open for public scrutiny.

Absolutely no way it wasn't a genuine attempt, was a terrible call for mine.

Always happens when a new rule comes in, they are trigger happy to enforce it even when they shouldn't

Remember when the high contact was getting clamped down on a few years ago and Chad got penalised against Souths for a butterfly like touch on another player. Lost us the game

Yeah I thought Chad was unlucky to be penalised for his high shot on Ponga as well.

Got any examples of where the Sharks made line breaks and he could/should have been on the spot backing up and wasn’t?

Has had some great moments in defence. Imo his tackle on Ford rd1 was a match saver.
