it would seem that the people saying you were hard done by need to go and learn the rules before post rubbish! nothing wrong with the vid ref calls. the try where people are saying it wad a knock on are 100% wrong! I don't like the rule myself but it was the correct call.
Absolute rubbish! Just as the people saying it was definitely NOT a try are equally wrong - its purely a matter of opinion!
The video ref had to make the decision whether the players hand was in contact with the ball prior to it hitting the ground and assuming it was, did he have sufficient control of the ball. The VR decided 'yes' to both points and whilst it seems the majority of people are in disagreement with him it's his decision that counts. It isn't the 1st time a video ref has given what many perceive to be the wrong decision and it won't be the last.
For what it's worth I think one of the Cas tries came off a forward pass and another could have been disallowed for obstruction but the VR decided to let that one stand.
Personally though I'd rather not dwell on one bad decision that went against us and concentrate more on the other reasons that we failed to win. Quite simply our ball control near the Hull KR line was not good enough, neither were our final tackle kicking/passing options. A more competent side would have scored 50 points with the field position and opportunities we created.
Results in previous rounds have shown that Hull Kr are not the side they were last season and if Cas can't beat them at home it looks like we're in for a long hard season!
) as it hit's the ground it's a try! Is that rugby league? Not for me it's not!
