They said it was pulled back for him being off side, ahead of the play off the ball. Seen so many tries stand like that so a strange decision.
No, you haven't. Ever. Name one, I challenge you.
Webb was being a lazy get and stood a country mile offside at the PTB. Instead of getting back onside, he lined up with the Bulls. This means he cannot be involved in the next sequence of play.
Instead, he took advantage of his mile offside head start to support a break. He knew he was offside, yet still whinged, moanes and challenged the ref. Well done Smith for spotting it, a clear cut decision - but one that I fancy some refs would have missed.
