[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 944258, member: 65365"] Law 9.7 b A player must not Intentionally knock, place, push or throw the ball with arm or hand from the playing area. Im not sure it should have been a penalty try though. It is consistent with how penalty tries are generally ruled, but I’m not sure it’s in alignment with the law. But there is a subjective aspect, so it could just be the ref saw it differently. What I’m taking about is that the rule says the try had to have been probable were it not for the offending action. To me Jordie could have grounded the ball instead of hitting out of play. But often these things are reffed in a way that assumes the offending player simply wasn’t there- I.e if it was probable the try would have been scored had the offending player not been in the position to offend, rather than had they not offended.
