In both forms of rugby (league and union), it's only a knock-on if the ball hits the ground after leaving the hand and bounces forward. It doesn't matter at all if the ball goes over somebody's head.
As for it being a forward pass, in league, it is a moot point: in such a situation, a pass that went along the ground, then forward could be called a knock-on or a forward pass, but the result is the same. I assume it is the same in union, but I'm not sure.

i do not imagine so. i imagine it is going to grow to be an umpire judgment on even if it replaced right into a house run double or triple. Lincecum is on p.c.. to run away with the NL Cy youthful. Cain is taking off to fall off a touch. i imagine Haren's stats are amzaing, except for the list, that's basically no longer his fault. he will end 2d. interior the AL, it is going to likely be Halladay or Hernandez. Whoever receives extra human beings get on the bandwagon. Beckett will be 2d both way becuase of the crew he pitches for.

In Rugby League it is a DELIBERATE forward pass and as such is dealt with by the award of a penalty to the non offending side.
An ordinary forward pass would be dealt with by the award of a scrum to the non offending side.

It is at the referees discretion.
Originally if it left your hands and went forward without touching your boot it was illegal.
Nowadays, a player is allowed 'adjust' if he is juggling a ball. How much 'adjustment' and whether or not this is deliberate is up to the referee.
However it is still illegal for the ball to go forward.
2 laws slightly clashing? up to referee.

Forward pass, a knock on is only if it hits the player and bounces forward onto the ground, still illegal, but a big difference

If you throw the ball & catch it yourself it is not a knock on.

Yeah, if the ball leaves your hands, it has to be traveling backwards or sideways.... unless you're kicking.

"Throw"- so it would be a forward pass.
