NRL Round 19 - Knights Vs Rabbitohs - 2:00pm Sunday, 12th of July - Accor Stadium

Under the official Laws of the Game, the definition of a knock-on or a "play at the ball" requires intentional contact with the hand or arm. If a bomb or grubber kick deflects off a player's head or back—often referred to as a "falcon"—while they are not actively attempting to play the ball, it is generally ruled a ricochet rather than a played-at ball.

So why did the rabbits get the ball back?

Because it's Jai's birthday.....biggest BS call I have ever seen

Because running back to catch and losing sight of it is still actively playing at the ball.
It's definitely become a grey area in the game. Much the same as defending and they kick and it hits you, your active in the play still but the reaction is what gets you 6 more or just play on.
 
It's not really; if the player is running back to take the ball, losing sight of it doesn't change anything.
 
Just once I would like them to realise they've made a break because of an obstruction and take the tackle for a quick play the ball.
That would be nice, but that would require some intelligence and there’s just a severe lack of it in this team.

Pretty sure KP knew that’s why he looked so sheepish when he scored but I guess he couldn’t just lay there untackled
 
Looks like I missed the wrong 20 minutes, even if all our tries were disallowed haha. Definitely looked like we'd lost all patience by the time I started watching. Hopefully Holbrook can get us back into the contest with some wise words. 14 points isn't a huge deficit, but we're not going to do it in five minutes.
 
Cooper correct...no room on the edges for the Knights because we're too sideways...hard to fix with this pack but fix it we must to get back into this game.
 
That forward pass signifies to me that we haven’t learned anything and this half is going to continue on the same way as the first half
