Funny signal

[Jurassic Referee]

Somewhere there's a long, old thread on this exact play. The argument was about whether we could call a held ball by rule on a play where the ball was eventually released on a try before an airborne shooter landed.

Iirc I was on the side that said if you don't actually prevent the try from being released, it doesn't meet the definition of a held ball.

I think my partner would agree with you (so do I). He was kicking himself later.
