The Charnley Try ?

[cpwigan]

Cannot decide myself, would you give a try or no try?

Try the.corner flag does not matter, and it was a simultanious touchdown on the goal line and touch

If it simultanious then its not a try if he hits both lines at the same time then its considered a No try and 20 meter restart. Wether Child saw the ball touched the try line before the touch line first is debatable. But if he hits both lines at the same time it a No Try.

The No Try one was an obvious try that was Child leveling it up as it was obvious from commentary on SKY he was asked to clarify it and Eddie the Blind said Child said it hit the try line first.

Exactly either way its swings and roundabouts

I thought the try awarded was not a try as it touched the line but the try disallowed was fine.

[Wes]

From 1 VR angle it was a try and from another it was no try.

I was happy it was given but equally I wouldn't have been disappointed if it was not.

[RobWigan]

does nobody think benefit of the doubt should of been given?

That is my thinking so far

[TrueBlueWarrior]

The Try was benefit of doubt and the no try was a try!!

there are only 24 frames per second on the TV and the ball could have hit the floor in between these frames. it was sliding away from his hand towards the touchline. benefit of doubt would apply. I wouldn't have been angry if it wasn't given, and no one has suggested they would be, which tells you just how close it was.

the no try, I thought his thumb looked to stay on the ball from the front angle, but it wasn't as apparent from the behind angle. We got the first so we didn't get the second, its simple to me.
