The new technology that could end contentious forward pass calls

[jbb/james]

I wonder if they'll use it for knock ons, and for the times when a fullback goes to catch the ball...they touch it, it goes back yet the ref from 40 metes away can def see the ball travels towards the try line (b/s).

Though under the category of being careful for what we wish for... it has the potential to stop the game 100 more times.

they will probably trial it adhoc in manly games, without any announcement

No they'll trial it in Panthers and Roosters games unannounced then declare that it's unreliable and still needs improvement so won't be deployed until 2056.

It would be fairly easy to attach a bomb to the technology, so the ball explodes if it is thrown forward.

Or spikes come out of it so nobody wants to catch it.

“Annesley has apologised to manly in his weakly excuse session, the spikes deployed by accident making manly’s match winning try impossible”

I like it simply because it extinguishes any chance for the Roosters to win a premiership. Their forward passing yards against the dogs were higher than an NFL game.

This has to be good.

For those of you who believe technology is the answer to getting decisions 100% correct this shiny new advance must be wonderful news.
For others, like me, I ask: How's that expensive technological marvel The Bunker working out?

Just because your square cricket ball didn't work out doesn't mean we shouldn't try new innovations!

I still remember bill harrigan awarding a try to gasnier against us as video ref, where he claimed the tv screen he was watching on wasnt big enough

as it could be seen from mars ( dont ask ), on pretty much the same screens i figured his 6 pack, player tip sheets , his bucket load of grudges and enormous chip on his shoulder impeded his view,

they can weasel there way out of anything

once they develop a forward pass technology and rule , next minute the interpretation of the rule will be introduced ,and was anyone hurt, emotionally counts

i heard it worked but the round ball industry buried the idea to maintain a monopoly

apparently Dennis lillies aluminium bat is still alive and is and shacked up with elvis ........true story

They're only looking to implement it as Scam Smith has already retired.

If the tech does work, I wonder if the nrl will implement some type of percentage leeway when it's found there's 50 forwards passes a game?

Like the bowlers in cricket. Used to have to have a straight arm, now one can bend it 15 degrees.

Yep, miraculously murali had a 15 degree bend.

He was and always will be known as the "Chucker" imo.

Gutless decision from the ICC to change the rules so he could continue, that's something I expect from the IOC.

True, I worked with a great Sri Lankan guy and he was a really calm person under all circumstances until you called Murali a chucker when he went 100% postal shouting at you. 😀
