Benefit of the doubt

[cpwigan]

RL is a 50/50 contest of defence and attack. Matches in the modern era are very high scoring. Therefore, I have a huge problem with the way the rules favour attack consistently.

Why have a rule which states if you cannot decide whether something is a try or not after X number of views, award benefit of the doubt to the attack.

The defensive effort to stop Gidley was monumental and deserved rewarding. Nobody can say if he scored or not so why award a try when there is not even a hint of a try?

Ditto, dummy runners. If you choose to run through the defensive line then defenders should be allowed to clear dummy runners. You cannot have a scenario where dummy runner run through the line seeking to confuse and often block defenders but the defenders cannot tackle them.

Rl is high scoring. Attack does not need boosting.

We should go with Ref's call as in Aus. Tonight it would have been disallowed as the touch judge stated he thought it was knocked on! The referee would have to go with the touch judge wouldn't he? Poor Tommy put his body on the line and made sure the ball couldn't be grounded.. For What?

Spot on CP I'm with you think if you watch the game the lines man says he thought Gidley lost control so he must have had a better angle why not Refs call? thats what we had pre video and we got by for 100 years or so
Graham got a bang ''so what'' you come through like that you get smacked taking dummy runners out would be a bit of spice and it would not effect us because we dont have any :eh:

Its a crap rule and thats not cause we have been stiffed with it tonite, if you cant see it grounded its no try end of. We were obstructed all through the game near our line there were more players from there team in our defence than ours.

[fred ladd]

[superleague]

[OAMJSONA]

brilliant defense should be rewarded

Klein the Klown ruined us tonight

but what a great support from our supporters

all of you give your selves a round of applause

We should go with Ref's call as in Aus.

Might make a difference UNLESS the instructions to the refs is if in doubt award the try. Which is what CPW is on about.

I'm sure linesman said he thought the ball came loose knock on ? surely that would be what te ref would go with the cameras did not show the vital moment .

[Kittwazzer]

Maybe it wouldn't have happened if the world's superteam had anything like a decent ground which the cameras could view.

Lets face it, we sold a better ground than KR to Tesco!!

Still, when you live in a sh*thole, you probably don't mind watching your sport in one!
