by which point the ball was already being grounded and I don't care what anyone says, not one of the Wigan has reactions quick enough to hear that and then fall off the tackle.

rob i dont care what u say no way was the ball all ready grounded yes the player was still moving but at least 2 players had pulled out of the tackle when he shouted last tackle

stevo went threw it several times and you can here the ref then a few seconds later the ball is grounded ,result should of been penalty to defence as stevo said end of argument

The refs haven't got it both ways, the referee will shout move before penalising - listen next time the game is on sky. Surrender actually means that the defender has longer to stabilise the tackle so why would the referee immediately penalise as soon he has shouted it?

Oh, well, if Stevo's said it I must hold my hands up and admit defeat. How often do you agree with Stevo, Mike?

A few seconds is massively exaggerated - there was about 3 frames between the two, a fraction of a second. Not long enough for Wigan players to react. They are human afterall.

I think the video referee only has real time sound BTW - not on replays.

No Mike, you're getting him confused with me!

The Wakefield incident was scrutinised on Boots n All after it had happened and i'm sure the response was as Jammie said. The VR doesn't have any sound and therefore didn't hear the call, and has the hand only went up as the ball was being grounded he gave the try. Don't quote me on that though.

Regarding the Leeds incident the rule isn't described on the RFL website, but the incident will more than likley be on the 'ask stuart' piece some time over the weekend.
