Sinfields Conversion

[Leyther Pie]

Dont know wether it was my eyes but it didnt look like it went between the posts but was given but i cant watch again as my sky didnt record it damn. Can anyone have a look frame by frame?

[KOOCH]

Just watched it back Leyther and it just crept in.Frame by frame it just about crept inside. Though in real time you would question it's validity.I had to view it several times before making my mind up. The wife on first viewing said it did not go through the posts. But frame by frame it was just in.Anyway as previously stated the cheating gits got a try by foul means.They would not have got it by any other means.

sorry kooch i've just looked and think he has missed it. when i paused it, it looked liked it was missed. glad it didnt come down to 1 point again because that could have been very controversial

Perhaps the wife was right after all because I am looking at it again.It's debatable and contentious.Your right on the issue of if it came down to a 1 pointer though. Slowly looking at it again frame by frame.The wife is convinced that it did not go between the posts. So who am I to argue with her?

Just been on rlfans and they all saying it missed. How can the touch judges give it when we can see it missed on tv. Could of been crucial in a close game but thankfully it wasnt.

Considering the try should never have been awarded as it was a blatant ball strip by buderus; the fact that they gave the conversion even though it missed just rubbed salt in the wounds!

Thankfully last night the officials didn't have enough influence to change the course of the game. But they did make some very strange decisions. None more so than penalising Joel for dragging burrow and then allowing Senior to do the same thing to Goulding - all within the space of five minutes!

i was under the impression that Under the new interpretation, as soon as the referee sees a tackler dragging the ball carrier in a tackle that involves more than one defender he will call ‘held

[x Wigan Warrior x]

Dragging tackled players as opposed to pushing them

Interpretation:Where opponents do not make a tackle effective in the quickest possible manner but then attempt to drag an opponent into touch or back towards his own in goal area then the referee should immediately call held.

Application: This does not prevent players driving an opponent into touch or back into his own in goal area providing that a team mate of the ball carrier has not added their weight to the tackle. As soon as the referee sees a tackling player dragging the ball carrier in a tackle that involves more than one tackler he will call "held". If the tackling players continue to move the ball carrier after the "held" call they should be penalised.

I thought he missed but the TJs seemed very certain and if both think so I presume it went over. Mind you should never have been a try. Ben Thaler worrys me.

A point on the grey area of ref calling held, on many occasions the players don't/can't hear the ref,crowd noise, tacklenoise etc, so why can't the ref be wired to a speaker that is on his body to make the call's clearer.The excuse of did't hear is removed, plus we may hear the call.
