Re: Warringtons try
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Warringtons try
And sorry, just watching the game back & no way is it a try

Re: Warringtons try
Never a try, don’t like the on field decision

Me neither should just be as DaveO says.

Re: Warringtons try
Well again, the other option is we adopt essentially the same system as in rugby union; either "Any reason I can't award the try" (the on-field ref reckons try), or "Try, yes or no?" (the ref just doesn't know, and wants the VR to make the decision).
Re: Warringtons try
Then why bother with a video ref at all if they rubber stamp whatever the ref rules 99 times out of 100? I'd be quite happy if they were done away with provided we moved back to a situation where a player getting the nail of his little finger brushing on the ball didn't mean it was a try.moto748 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 06, 2022 2:20 pm As I've remarked before, we had that once, and fans complained that *everything* got sent upstairs, and why can't the on-field ref make a decision? So they changed it to the current system, and people don't like that either. There's no pleasing folk! The current set-up is (more or less) what they do in the NRL too, and I think it's the best system. But any system is only as good as the officials operating it.And the standard of camera-work available to make a decision.
As for the Warrington try, I said at the time, it's no try really, but it will be given, because "not enough to overturn". And so it was. And I still think making the on-field ref the primary arbiter is the right way. If it had gone up as no try, I think the VR would have been happy with that.
I don't think when people complained about everything going to the video ref they expected this to be the result or that they would not expect tries like this one to be adjudicated on. The video ref should rule on these off his own bat. If he can't see a try because the ref didn't give it (as he didn't because he sent it upstairs) it should be no-try.
I am not sure the way it's done now has changed the frequency of video ref decisions anyway but ironically it's made things worse because as we have seen in recent weeks with the "try through the legs" and now this the system is not preventing "no trys" from being given.

Re: Warringtons try
Like me and another poster stated ….. the ball spins before its grounded…… it was lost….. not once but twice…..100% no try and a very very poor decision….. even currie knew it wasnt a try with the look on his face
IF YOU STRIKE ME DOWN I WILL BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE
Re: Warringtons try
I thought the same last night, also how can you have downward pressure with both hands underneath the ballFirestarter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 06, 2022 3:38 pm Like me and another poster stated ….. the ball spins before its grounded…… it was lost….. not once but twice…..100% no try and a very very poor decision….. even currie knew it wasnt a try with the look on his face

Re: Warringtons try
Review them all or none at all. I must admit, going off the South Stand’s reaction I thought it was a try even though the replays on the big screen did cast some doubt.
Re: Warringtons try
Once again this should have gone up as a no try because he must not of been sure so why did he send it up a try and why did Moore give it when he clearly knocked on I think mr Moore needs a long rest from super league
