Are you a former grade 2 referee, who works in full time education as a lecturer in Scientific Principles on a Sports and Exercise Science Course?

Ah, school exam tests, I like these.

From the examples below, give the correct refereeing decision. Base your answers on the facts given in the examples only.

Just that I would expect such a person to know what they were on about.

Thought it must be you.

I thought you were supposed to be an ex-referee!

The answers are always included in refereeing tests. You don't make up your own rules, you use the answers provided. If you'd ever been an actual referee you'd have known that.

So Chase is running forward he passes the ball on the 10 metre line - the catcher catches the ball 5 metres from the line but Chase is 4 metres from the line when he pass is caught - how is that not a forward pass?

It's got nothing to do with where Chase was when the ball is caught!!!!

It's the momentum he had when he passed the ball. Now, for your scenario, if he was sprinting forward at something like 25 m/s...then he would be in the Olympics, not in RL.

You are right. It's a forward pass.

Hence Newton observed that;

"Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force or Rangi Chase is applied to it".

This thread was initially started after the Wakey match mate. It's kind of been hijacked now though!
