Can't agree with the Diskin try being right. I felt scrum Leeds was the only way that Mr Alibert could go. Whether played at or not by Peacock, Diskin is offside.

Thought the refereeing was very poor again in the game, but the playing field was generally level and bad decisions went both ways.

Then learn the rules.

Look at it another way. If it was in the middle of the park and Huddersfield had the ball. If Diskin went in and made the tackle, and the Huddersfield man coughed up possession and it hit a supporting player coming in to make the tackle not playing at it. Diskin picks up the ball and runs to the try line.

Do you seriously think any questions would be asked about that? The scenario is no different. The Huddersfield player knocked on and it hit a player not playing at it. Play on is the rule.

I think that's right if it hadn't touched Wild last. Ref seems to have ruled Peacock didn't play at it and it touched Wild's leg on the way through putting Diskin on-side in that case. If it doesn't hit Wild, then you're right. I'm not too sure of the state of off-side when a player doesn't play at the ball. Unlucky for Hudds, but looked correct call. Where have we seen those recently?

Excuse my ignorance of the rules but is Diskin offside if he dosn't play at it?

It seems strange that in other cases where you dont play at the ball but it hits you the rules treat it as it it hadn't hit you, like when it goes over the touchline, but not for offside.

In response to the original post, the ref wasn't great tonight but Ive seen a lot, lot worse. It also hilarious that 2 threads are started about a fairly standard performance on the Leeds board by Saints fans. I dont think Ive seen much complaning from the Huddersfield fans.

Just the three then ?

Just goes to show how low the slush fund is at Hetherington Towers if we can only afford three bungs, no wonder we've been losing games.

It's because of Buderus' £5million contract, as well as Donald's new and improved £6million contract.

Referee bungs will become a thing of the past due to the overpaid holidaymakers.
