I came on here to bring this up again.. I still don't understand how it didn't lead to either a penalty try or a sin bin.gergreg wrote: ↑August 18, 2019, 11:21 amIf he isn't hit in the air his momentum probably means he lands just about in the in goal and just has to put it down.Aero wrote:The Fox commentary was saying something similar - if that was a grubber kick, that would've a sin bin for tackling a player without the ball to stop a try.

I have no problem with the part about it being tackled in the air, I appreciate it is an attacking player catching the ball.. However the penalty was for Addo-Carr going for the player and not the ball in a try scoring situation (and it was a try scoring situation as the play had gone up to the bunker to rule if this was a try or a no try)
We've consistently seen this result in a penalty try or sin binning when a defender goes for a player and not the ball from a grubber, so I don't understand why it wasn't the result in this play.
