Read back through my posts and see what my view is on the decisions that were contentious.

but you can't debate on the field, you have to abide by what the ref has decided and I think sinfield was lucky he didn't get sin binned as you could tell the frustration was at boiling point

Sinfield is the captain. He is allowed to ask the referee why the try was disallowed.

You do realise you are actually picking an argument with the Leeds fan that had to set all the other Leeds fans straight back on page 1 of this thread, don't you?

No that's right. Of course you don't.

PLEASE KILL THIS THREAD.

Fellow Wakey Fans - you should be ashamed of yourselves, poking fun at our sensitive and emotional neighbours as their dominance (as they see it) on British Rugby League begins to slip. We all know the next few years are going to be hard for them - we should offer them sympathy and understanding. To top it all their pet ref has left these shores and deserted them (funny how he never reffed at BV again) - what next?

Leeds fans - I feel your pain, I empathise with your cnfusion.

AND I LOVE IT

Leeds are my most hated club in the world. But even I can see you are an idiot.

For all those still confused, consider the following situation:

A player (player A) from a team loses his boot defending at the opposition 20m, so he sits down to tie his boot as play moves down towards his own line. He's not very good at tying laces so he takes a little while.

The ball is handed back to his team 10m out from their try line. At the ptb, one of his team mates (player B) makes a break and pelts down field. The opposition only have the FB who is in any sort of position to catch him. Player A finishes tying his boot and stands up. Player B rushes past him but is caught by the defender. Player B passes the ball to Player A who catches it and scores under the posts. Your verdict, try or no-try?

Player A clearly was offside at the ptb. Did his own player put him onside by running past him... don't be trying to fool me that you think he did!

Player A never gave up the advantage he had from being offside (by a mile in this case) just as Webb didn't on Friday.

Yes, this is an exaggerated case but it illustrates the point of the rule.

Accepting this ruling, why does a different rule apply to offside at a kick than offside at a ptb. You can be 90 yards in front of the kicker but only have to give the returner 10 yards. Net gain 80 yards. You tackle the returner, cause a knock on, gather the ball yourself and stroll under the posts to score. Onside at the kick and you are never there to make that tackle. Anomolies like this need removing.

And don't be fooled by any logic that may be contained in this post. I'm still paranoid that the only time such rules are invoked are to stop Leeds winning.
