So you agree that Lowe wouldn't have much time to react yet think it's fair that he's done for not doing so? How is he supposed to know if/when Conway is going to jump? I agree with everything you've said if you're talking about a guy jumping from a standing start, but not when two players are running towards each other, there really is a huge difference between the two scenarios.Laighin Break wrote: If the jumper isn't oblivious to what's around them, then Lowe shouldn't be oblivious either. Considering players don't have much hang time, the jump is always at the last second...
Maybe I look at it differently, playing football hurling & Aussie rules where the instinct would always be to jump when competing for a high ball, but I would think it's something a player just has to consider when chasing garryowens.
To follow your logic through, Lowe should just have hung back in which case Conway probably wouldn't have even needed to jump, how is that right? Why should Conway have all the rights? How does Lowe know that Conway will get there first given that he had a great chance of getting it too?
