Lol

It looked forward I thought, especially out of his hands

Throws it a step behind the line with his arms out in front of his body, but even if you're being willfully ignorant, the whole reason the bunker can't rule on forward passes is because camera angles can be deceptive, consider that:

a) Milford is in front of Haas when Haas takes possession, which is usually a very good indicator that the ball has left the hands backwards from a player with forward momentum.

b) you're trying desperately to split hairs over what you think is 'half a step' from, again, a pass from a player with forward momentum.

c) The channel 9 commentary team, who absolutely live for moments where they can have a big ol' circle-jerk about how terrible the refs are, and have spent the night doing it every time they think they see a half-reason to start, question the forward pass live, but through the replays of the try and right on through until the end of whatever the fuck 'thursday night golden point' is supposed to be, never utter the words 'forward pass' again.

buuuuuuuuut I don't know why I'm trying to convince you of anything, you'd rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades than admit i'm right about anything, if i said the sky was blue, you'd tell me it's green.

and when i refer to camera angles being deceiving, i refer to movements of the ball in video, (ie. passes to that direction on that side of the field travel from right to left on the screen) not still frames from it, as far as i can see the ball is passed out in front of Milfords body just before the line, and hits Offa's chest just before the line, making it a flat at worst, but if you want to debate the ball itself travelled forward the length of a school ruler, as per the video above, the stills show the ball travels backwards in relation to the 2 players.

EDIT: and don't worry, this isn't going to turn into a thing, like i said, Pieface lives to disagree with me, I was more providing an argument to a hypothetical rational person that comes in with the belief that it was a forward pass, but is actually open to other viewpoints. I've shown my working out, presented my evidence, so the defense rests.

I'm really afraid we're going to waste the young talent we have at the club because we're not putting the right players around them.

We have the best young forwards in the game, a superstar in Milford at fullback, a great up and coming hooker in Turpin, another star in the making in Dearden at 7, but we still need that 5/8 to play alongside him. The answer isn't Darius Boyd and it will never be Darius Boyd.

Why the fuck didn't we didn't Maloney? He would have been perfect to put alongside Dearden for a year or two to help his development, now next season he will have Boyd or a young half next to him which is only going to make us weaker.

We can't let the young talent we have at our disposal go to waste, we just can't. The things Haas, Fifita, TPJ, Carrigan, Flegler, Lodge etc are capable of is incredible, we just need to fix up a couple of positional issues and we will be challenging again.
