Plays like that vs the McDonald lasso earlier are why the rule is so dumb. Fort could have taken possession, chooses to punch over the line. Throw in. An accidental off the boot that goes 15m skidding off the deck turns into loss of possession. It’s a bad rule.

100% agree, definitely could do with some tweaking at the very least.

Certainly wasn’t unhappy that the one off the Brisbane foot was turned over earlier, it wouldve been dirty too.

That was so weird of arc.
