HKR v Wire

[fozzie58]

Time and again Moore seems to get these calls wrong while I agree he’s hamstrung by the need to send it up one way or the other I’m not at all convinced he could see if Burgess had scored or not so to me he simply shouldn’t have sent it up as a try you err on the side of caution.

I fully expect him to be the ref for the grand final.

Its simple the ref says to the video panel no definite view it's your call

Moore is totally snookered by the rules of the game. He made the correct call according to the rules. They say this.

" Referee unsighted, The referee should not disallow a try because they were not in a position to see the grounding of the try. "

So by the rules, he has to send it up as a try. Then there is no way the video ref will overturn it as no clear view. The live call simply has to go.

It should be so simple , i e if the the referee sees the ball grounded there is no need to refer to the video referee if he doesn’t then it should then become the video referee’s decision. Why make things more complicated than they need be.

Warrington let themselves down badly last night. KR had complete control of the game in the 1st half and should have put more points on the board. They faded badly during the 2nd half and Wire should have taken advantage of it. But poor kicking at the end of the sets, wayward passes and poor decision making prevented them from getting in behind them and winning.
I was hoping for a Warrington win, if only to shut the commentators up from going on about golden balls Mikey Lewis all night.
We all know KR are very beatable, and whoever wins tonight, I don't think will have a problem in the final.

Is "benefit of the doubt goes to the attack" still a thing in RL?

Agree with general feeling of the game itself, Warrington will be kicking themselves but maybe the overtime game last week took it out of them?

The ball shot they showed after try given was clear it was no try as many on here as said it shouldn't have gone to video ref as try on field I didn't think it was a try in the first place mile of don't know how ref saw it has a try. But best team won.

You’re right of course but to me if they go to the video ref it should have always go up as a no try first and then let the video ref overturn it but with luck this all becomes moot if they drop the whole silly ruling g

I Disagree that the ref is restricted by the rule, this is because it is worded as "Should" and not as "Must"

Thought Wire were also unlucky to have the Dufty try disallowed. Looked more like a bad defensive read to me.
