Yeah you can’t roll the ball along the grass regardless if the ball carrying arm doesn’t touch the ground or not or it doesn’t come away from the hand.

Yow Yeh and Chambers would like a word…
 
They changed the rule since then.
I think that rule change is when the ball is in the air.

They moved away from the attacker having to re-grip the ball if it comes loose and they only need to have a hand on the ball when it's grounded... but if it comes loose in that same situation and touched a player then it would still be a knock on.

If the ball ever comes loose and touches the ground or an opposition player in front of them then it's a knock on... I would class rolling the ball forward as coming loose.

It's the same when a player drags the ball back to them when it's on the ground. They very rarely avoid rolling it back to themselves when regaining it and it's always called a knock on

Coming loose requires the ball to disconnect from the hand, the only way rolling is fine is if the ball carrying hand stays on it with no separation when it happens, because the ball carrying arm wasn't on the ground it's not a promotion either.

That's what logic is being used here.

Imo it's stupid but I can see why this particular case allows it.
