Wtf is that garbage? We got a penalty, which then turned into a knock on, which we challenged, and which shows that it was knocked out by a head…..and nsw gets the ball? Jesus Christ.
You can blame the commentary team for that. Channel 9 shouldn't be allowed to telecast the great game.
I'm a QLD supporter by the way... for me it was a clear loose carry and it touched a defending player which means it's a knock on no matter what direction the ball goes. The commentators absolutely know it was a knock on. They were just stirring the pot - probably deliberately.
The attacking player is required to maintain position in the tackle and it's only "knocked out" by the defending player if they play at the ball with their hands.
