So, yes it is in the rule book, however when did anyone last see or hear of a penalty given for a deliberate knock on before yesterday?

I was at a game yesterday and asked around various fans and staff/ex players etc. nobody can ever remember seeing it called.

I thought it was a fair penalty. I've seen plenty of examples of players knocking it backwards or 50-50 toward the sideline but that by Isaako was just flagrant.

Only fair if the next time a centre/winger put their hand into the line and bats the ball down when we are passing out wide gets done too. Which we know it wouldn't.

Its a penalty that is never given and its just so happens that when they cows are 14-22 down with 22 to play the ref gives a totally obscure penalty at the point they fluff their attack and we should bet the ball back I smell a rat. I've long suspected the refs try to even up games for the tv spectacle but that to me has made me certain
