Trinder is passed the ball by Williams and he kicks it through but its claimed by Watson

Joe Watson Oct 10

Agreed, Jack.

Except that in this instance the referee is correct. The player has touched the ball, but the ball jas not been touched by anyone else nor has it hit the deck. So he's still in possession. So it's a tackle. And it's high.

Either way, Lawrence and Austin are wrong.
