Its got nothing to do with his elbow, if the ball is over the line then its play on. Thats like saying you can score a try if your elbow touches the try line! bizarre!

The ball was on the line too, his lower arm, including ball are on the try line, he even plays the ball on the line!

If so fair point.

Re: ROBBED AGAIN : Sun Feb 28, 2010 3:40 pm  

Having studied the rule book today, Ive come to the conclusion that Liam Watts final try was CORRECTLY awarded. There is nothing in the rules that prevents it being given.

However, Scott Murrells was INCORRECTLY awarded, as Liam Watts made no attempt to play the ball correctly.

That said I personally feel that the word "control" should be in the laws regarding the scoring of a try. Try as I might, I cannot find it. Im open to being wrong, but thats my interpretation.

So in my view Cas were wrongly done by the match officials, who week after week stun me with their incompetance from Super League down to amatuers on a weekend. Whats is worse is the pandemic of arrogance that is rife amongst them. Zero humility at all.

BUT, before I get shot down, its not the main reason Cas lost - our errors were to blame!

There was another questionable referee decision for the first HKR try. The HKR forward (Watts?) was held up over the line but the referee allowed him to play the ball on the tryline (he never actually played the ball) and HKR dummy half dove over to score.

1) The play the ball should have been 10 metres from the line
2) We need to enforce the play the ball with the foot rule, not attempt to play it with the foot.

I also thought that Ainscoughs try shouldn't have been ruled out, there was more than good reason for giving that try on benefit of the doubt.

2)
I agree have seen those tries given as benefit of doubt before

Indeed, and that's what he got completely and utterly wrong. There's absolutely zero doubt that that try shouldn't have stood.

In your head maybe but not in the head of Mr Gansons, that's the only opinion that counts on this occasion. Over the course of a season these things even themselves out. You all seem to conveniently forget the dodgy forward pass that lead to one of Ainscoughs tries. You lot should really take your black and amber glasses off and get in the real world!

Next time i play rugby in a tight game, when near the line, im gunna hit a gap, throw the ball through the gap (not letting it touch the floor of course) and just as its about to hit the floor ill stick a finger at the side of the ball (without any control whatsoever) and score the winner!

Without a doubt the WORST desicion i have ever seen watching rugby league, end of.......

Dont even get me started on Ainscough's dissallowed try!!

But............. Big But................

I dont think we deserved to win, any team who lets go of a 10 point lead, then an 8 point lead, with 10 mins left, with as many chances as we bombed, doesnt deserve to win!!

Still we were Robbed!!
