tip on...not a pass... not a knock on...bunker can rule on tip ons but not forward passes...but not...wtf?
But referee Henry Perenara incredibly called it a knock on, despite the ball not touching the ground.
Luckily the scoreline was 26-12 so it didn‘t play too much of a part.
But it meant the Eels could challenge the call as a knock on.
An uncertain Fox League commentary team of Andrew Voss and Michael Ennis were baffled by the call.
“So they challenge the knock on, but it‘s a pass isn’t it, it’s a tip on,” Voss said. “Can you call that a knock on, he’s tipped that on deliberately. But he can’t rule it. How can the bunker even describe that as a knock on? The bunker, if they’re following protocol have to throw it back, we can’t rule on that, it’s a pass.”
