Every play the ball is supposed to rolled back with the foot or heel. Hookers are supposed to heel the ball back in scrums. Lewis Jones used to back heel over touchline conversions (allegedly). Yet Chris reckons all those would be illegal. Lol.

It was a try and we shouldve played to the whistle.

Find us the rule that you can kick it with your heel


Clearly backwards of his arm onto his foot.

Think it’s obvious to 99.9% if people that was a try (albeit one of the luckiest ones in history)

Both the on field ref and VR thought it was a knock on.

The reason the VR gave the try was that the knock on was negated by bibby kicking the ball. Sounds fair right? It does until you read the definition of s kick in the laws of RL

“ Kick means imparting motion to the ball with any part of the leg (except the heel) from the knee to toe inclusive.”

Its not the reason leeds lost, the fact that leeds stood there and watch Field just pick the ball up was schoolboy stuff.

But it shouldn’t have been given.

It’s not me who reckons, its in the laws of the game.

Was dropped backwards to hit his heel so not a knock on. Look up definition of Knock on, has to go forwards off the hand.

You’re missing my point, both the ref and the VR thought it was s knock on and the VR thought the kick negated it.

Personally I’m not sure if it was a knock in or not, but can you honestly say if it hadn’t hit his heel that wouldn’t have been given as s knock on?

Sezer was let go at Huddersfield because he was disruptive to team spirit - hopefully he has learned a lesson?

You can't strike with the knees is what the rule states. For me, knee hit ball.

Probably not because he clearly dropped it backwards

It can’t have clearly knocked it backwards as the ref and VR thought it was a knock on.

Ive no idea what Chris is going on about. It was a knock on but not a knock on cos hes not sure if it went forward or backwards but if it hit the heel its a penalty but if a millimetre of the ball hit above the heel its play on. If a ball hits the thigh its a knock on cos thats not deemed a kick but if it hits the thigh going backwards its play on but Chris doesnt know if it went forward or not.

Every ptb is a penalty cos they either heel it back below the knee which is against rule 17.2a subparagraph 4.3 or the ptb never touches the foot at all.

So while everyone else on the board knows it was a lucky try Chris is getting a protractor out and doing experiments to see if its even possible to knock a ball forward onto your heel which is behind you. FFS.
