Instance of a try following a player being offside at the preceeding play the ball - Rhinos first try against Salford. Sinfield in front of the play the ball then delivers the final pass to JJB.

Sinfield having originally been stood in front of the play the ball got back behind the point of the ptb as the ball shipped left and was back onside to send Jones-Buchanan over.

What was wrong with that?

Good call - just watched the higlights on sl website and you're right.

The thing is the ball stays alive and goes across field and back again that the ref has no chance of spotting that. But you're right, by what the 'law enforcers' have been saying he should have been unable to play any part in that play until the next tackle..

... not that it helped us tho...

You're wrong. It was different to the Bradford incident.

If you are offside at the ptb then you are offside. There is no getting back onside once the ball is in play

Boots 'N' All had the relevant law up on screen last night.

Section 11, Law 10

There was no mention in there of a player having to wait until the next play the ball before being able to get back onside.

As Sinfield clearly got himself back behind the point of the play the ball why wouldn't he be onside for the remainder of the play?

I agree it was contentious - although far from clear-cut. Also contentious was the Leeds try from a significantly-forward pass.

In both cases, its a case of: it happens - live with it, I suggest.

I couldn't agree more. I like to think of it as Karma after Cardiff!

And for Leeds fans lamenting refereeing decisions going against them they're suspiciously quiet on Burrow's pass to Jones-Buchanan at Odsal and Jones-Buchanan's flick on to Keith Senior at Headingley over the weekend.

Those incidents dont fit the "we wuz robd" agenda.
