Agreed.
It didn't matter whether it was a 40 - 20, under the new rules it was our ball any way, that's why he kicked for touch on at least 2 other occasions.
Clearly Leigh hadn't read the rule books by the way they protested.
What is the new rule though, I thought & may be wrong ( again lol ) that the free play only came into play when the opponents knock on the 40/20 and a couple others came from penky's stray passes
Just proved again that I'm wrong lol
Advantage
If a team gains possession from a forward pass or knock on then they will only be deemed to have taken their advantage if they keep possession until the next tackle is complete. If possession is lost before the tackle is complete then the referee will go back to the point of the original infringement and award a scrum against the team that infringed first. The
referee will rule that the team in possession has not had an advantage if they are tackled close to their own goal line. Foul play by the team attempting to take the advantage will be penalised at the point where the foul play occurs.
Markers not square when the ball is played
